Jazzy Field Trip
Once again the Brookfield Jazz Society is planning a Field Trip to enjoy some live jazz downtown under the starry skies during the Chicago Jazz Festival. This even does not take place until the end of Summer, however we are taking a survey to see how many people would be interested in going. Details are as follows...
Jazz Reference Library
Starting in February 2017 the Brookfield Jazz Society (BJS) will be looking for anyone who wants to participate in or donate to the Jazz Reference Library. The library will be a new edition of the BJS for use by its Members to help with researching presentations. The library will consist of books, reference material, Audio CD collections and DVD media relating to Jazz.
How can someone help? There are two ways… Donations and Participation.
Wheel of Fortune
If you like Jazz and Wheel of Fortune, then we have a nice surprise for you...
Enjoying a Night of Jazz
The Brookfield Jazz Society (BJS) moved from the Cozy Cottage at Irish Times Pub into The Jazz Room at Sawa's Old Warsaw in July 2014. Since then there have been a lot of changes as the BJS grows and continues to support Jazz in the area. For those of you who have never (or maybe not recently) attended a BJS Meeting or Live Jazz Event and not sure what to expect, then please read this article to learn more about how we hold our meetings/events each week.
