WHAT IS "ALL THAT JAZZ"?
The JAZZ in the gallery name comes from Jessica's second passion: jazz music. You can buy jazz CD's in her gallery or just come in and listen while you look around. She has contributed a great deal to the world of jazz with a nonprofit enterprise she and her former partner created in Oakland named "Jazz in Flight." They bought and restored a Victorian house there and within a month after moving in they had the first in a series of concerts within the house that spanned over ten years including an annual New Year's Eve concert that featured many world famous musicians. She created and produced the first five Eddie Moore Jazz Festivals at Yoshi's Nightspot. Those events turned into seven-day major jazz events with musicians coming from all over the country and even from abroad. Her house was always home to traveling musicians.
In Healdsburg, Jessica is still devoted to educating the public about jazz and helping to keep the art form alive. She has produced several jazz evenings first at the Flying Goat Cafe and then growing into the larger space of the Raven Performing Arts Center. Her dream of helping to create a jazz festival in Healdsburg became a reality in June of 1999, with the success of the first annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival, which featured Cedar Walton, Billy Higgins and Bobby Hutcherson.
Jessica's workshop is not far from the gallery and she is frequently onsite. If you come by the gallery any day of the week you might get to meet and talk with her about her work and about jazz. You can also sign the guest-book or e-mail her to be notified about upcoming jazz events.
