Jazz House Kids celebrated its 5th anniversary with a gala benefit and jazz concert held June 7, 2007 at the Montclair Art Museum in Montclair, New Jersey. The artfully displayed and beautifully jazzed night would hold many splendid surprises for our esteemed guests and all-star musicians that gathered to celebrate the organization's mission and accomplishments.


From the first down beat the night got kicked off on a high note as guests were greeted with an array of sumptuous appetizers and beautiful blue and green cocktails accompanied by a swinging performance from the Jazz House Kids Quartet.
JHK appreciates the tremendous talent of our many clinicians and their commitment to arts education and to this organization in particular. A special thank you to the musicians that performed at the gala: Jack Glottman (pn), Chris Burger (bs), Jerome Jennings (dm) and our musical director and saxophonist Ed Palermo.


Thanks to our many volunteers and industrious auction committee members, the evening featured an incredible silent auction display with an array of exciting gems, concert tickets, rare sports memorabilia, fashion items, weekend getaways, and the like.


Leila Dunbar, Senior Vice President of Sotheby's ran a hair raising live auction which included among other items tickets to Super Bowl XLII.
