These rendezvous (c'est what?) are seasoned with good vibrations, and salted and peppered with energy and rhythm! Take a look at this impressive list of jazz bands - you'll find "more than" one group you don't want to miss. You're invited to attend any of our events, no charge for 'first time' guests. Read the previous paragraph again in case you've suddenly forgotten what you just read about the time, location, etc. of Sunday Jazz Cabaret Concerts ! haha... 
If you are looking for a smorgasbord of jazz, see the variety we offer! RJS has grown through the years with happy members, who enjoy *jazzin' it up* once a month.

More information will be posted here as it becomes available. We're all rev-v-ved up ! 
AND SPONSORS
LOOK OUT 2004, HERE WE COME !!.
MARCH 20, 2004, WAS OUR DATE ! Once again in the Mt. Shasta Mall Food Court, our local schools gathered to "promote" jazz and their musical progress! Steve Fischer, Board member, was our chairman this year.As the months fly by, Steve and his wife, Nancy, were "double-handedly" preparing for this event. Our 'jazzers' helped, also, work toward the common goal of this project.
MT. SHASTA MALL FOOD COURT 
Included in youth jazz link is information on 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004!! *3-county* school band concerts at Mt.Shasta Mall. |
... AND SPEAKING OF "YOUTH" ...During our SUNDAY JAZZ CABARET CONCERTS, our raffles support young musicians attending the annual Sacramento Jazz Camp (see link at beginning of this page). RJS raffle proceeds have gone a long way to "pay the way" for many of our youth to attend the Sacramento Youth Jazz Camp, held in August, each year. We're proud of each student who attends and is taught by professional musicians.

Our guest bands offer great jazz music for dancing, foot-tapping, hand-clapping ... you know the drill.
In early spring, for the past 5 years, (including this year) Mt. Shasta Mall and RJS sponsor a "YOUTH JAZZ BAND DAY" in the Food Court. This is a spacious area,with tables and chairs, a complete wall of windows behind the stage, which gives a well-lighted area for the musicians.This "happy" annual event been very well attended and appreciated by the community.
... THESE STUDENTS return home with a *new* revelation of ... what is this thing called "syncopation" ... and ... "knowing" the jazz pulse has been born and is alive in them.
