Five New Jersey Towns Join to Create the Middlesex County Jazz Festival with Performances Sept 28 – Oct 1, 2023

Middlesex County Jazz Festival


Music producing organizations in five Middlesex County towns, each with a distinct reputation for presenting live jazz, are working together to form the Middlesex County Jazz Festival, with free performances in each town scheduled for September 28 through October 1 2023.

The organizations include Edison’s Mayor & Council, Perth Amboy Artworks, New Brunswick Jazz Project, Woodbridge Arts and the Metuchen Arts Council & Friends of Metuchen Arts. The close ties between the leaders of these organizations inspired the idea of a Middlesex County centered jazz festival. 

New Brunswick has developed into a jazz hub in New Jersey thanks to the efforts of Michael Tublin, Jimmy Lenihan and Virginia DeBerry, cofounders of New Brunswick Jazz Project which has produced jazz events in New Brunswick twice a week for the past 14 years. Their original idea was to “create a space for grownups in this college town”, as Virginia DeBerry likes to say. In the process, they have been instilling an appreciation of jazz in audiences of all ages.

Lynne Mueller, who heads the team producing Metuchen Jazz events for several years already, says “we certainly have the audience for it as the number of people attending events is rapidly growing.”

Perth Amboy Artworks Joins Middlesex County Jazz Festival

Perth Amboy Ferry Slip

Perth Amboy Artworks know for producing the concert series Live at the Ferry Slip at the Historic Perth Amboy Ferry Slip, has joined the new project called the Middlesex County Jazz Festival for its inaugural year in 2023. The Middlesex County Jazz Festival is funded in part through a grant to the esteemed New Brunswick Jazz Project by the Middlesex County Arts and Culture Trust Fund. The towns participating in the Middlesex County Jazz Festival are Perth Amboy, New Brunswick, Metuchen, Woodbridge and Edison. Each town will host a jazz concert in their town at the end of September from Sept 28-Oct 1. The collaboration is exciting since each town has dedicated professionals who produce great arts programming and community experiences and the events will showcase exceptional jazz artists.

In the past, Perth Amboy hosted the popular annual Blueberry Jazz Festival in Bayview Park and has been home to Jazz musicians notably Morris Nanton, Victor Quezada and Alejandro Ataucusi.

The Perth Amboy date for the Jazz Festival is Friday Sept 29 and we will transform the Historic Perth Amboy Ferry Slip into a live music venue directly on the water with beautiful views of Raritan Bay and feature exciting jazz artists.
