12th ANNUAL GALA CONCERT
Brooklyn, New York-February 15, 2011: 12th Annual Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival - IT's ALL JAZZ,  April 1- 30, 2011 presented by the Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium at venues from Coney Island to Williamsburg in Brooklyn.  New York City's longest continuous running grass roots festival dedicated to Jazz will feature international and local artists: Carlos Garnett, Candido Camero, Houston Person, Charles Tolliver, Arturo O'Farrill, Ray Abrams Big Band, Central Brooklyn Jazz All-Stars, and others at entertainment venues, colleges, cultural and faith based institutions.  For information contact CBJC at 718.773.2252 or info@cbjcjazz.org.  

Brooklyn jazz has a rich past and its legacy is celebrated every April, which is nationally known as Jazz Appreciation Month.  CBJC's new chairperson Clarence Mosley, Jr. states, "As CBJC enters its twelfth season in presenting Jazz an American original, African American created, art form to the under served populations of Brooklyn.  CBJC continues to recognize the contributions and creativity of the jazz community of Brooklyn, past and present.  This forty plus member organization strives to provide more jazz education programs to all and enhance the economy of our community via cultural tourism".  Brooklynites, jazz luminaries such as Max Roach, Eubie Blake, Betty Carter as well as less heralded artists Cal Massey, Betty Roche, Gigi Gryce and C. Scoby Stroman contributions are remembered by way of conferences and performances.  Other scheduled events includes: return of Panamanian saxophone great Carlos Garnett at Boys and Girls High School; National Endowment for the Arts jazz master, Cuban percussionist Candido Camero's 90th birthday celebration with the Arturo O'Farrill Quintet at Brooklyn Public Library's Dweck Center; remembering Brooklyn's jazz shrine, The East, a tribute at Brooklyn College with trumpeter Charles Tolliver; youth jazz presentations; Jazz: The Women's View Point; photo exhibits; and Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Brooklyn Historical Society just to name some.

Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival has grown from a nine day neighborhood event to a highly anticipated borough-wide music series.  The back bone of this community based jazz festival are musicians and venues which keep Brooklyn's jazz scene vibrate and fuel the local economy.  Stanley Banks, Steve Cromity, Donna Tulivu Cumberbatch, Eric Frazier, Jeff King, Beareather Reddy; Jazz966, Parlor Jazz, Rustik Lounge, Sistas' Place, Two Steps Down, and Sugar Hill Restaurant are some of the  performers and locations jazz lovers will experience during Brooklyn jazz festival 2011.

Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, Brooklyn Academy of Music/BAMcafe Live, Brooklyn Public Library's Dr. Stevan Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture, and H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music at Brooklyn College are expected to participate.  We thank Jazz Appreciation Month Initiatives at Smithsonian Institution for program support and Brooklyn Tourism and Visitors Center, an initiative of Borough President Marty Markowitz, for its continued assistance with the 12th Annual Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival .
