Exit 0 Int'l Jazz Festival May 29-31, 2015
Since 2012, the Exit Zero Jazz Festival has become a must-attend event for world-class musicians and jazz aficionados alike. On Festival weekend, Cape May transforms into a jazz village when jazz lovers make their pilgrimage to the one of the New Jersey's most picturesque seaside towns. This year's attendees will witness first-rate performances from award-winning and critically acclaimed artists, exciting newcomers on the jazz scene, and local favorites. JazzTimes said of the Festival weekend that it must be like that in Sundance when Hollywood comes to their town.

Blues icon, Charlie Musselwhite will headline at this year's festival. Swingadelic, the house band at Swing 46 in New York, will get the program started at noon on the historic Morristown Green.
Always a favorite at the festival will be this year's “guitar summit” featuring jazz great Bucky Pizzarelli, who has performed with everyone from Les Paul to Paul McCartney.
Up-and-coming Canadian trumpeter Bria Skonberg will follow, fresh from a scheduled appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival.
Roomful of Blues, a Muddy Waters tribute band led by guitarist Chris Vachon, brings an impressive resume that includes five Grammy nominations, seven Blues Music Awards, and two selections as best blues band by the DownBeat Critics Poll.
“It’s my hope that we are creating a legacy that Morristown can be proud of for many years to come by hosting this event each year,” Mayor Tim Dougherty said at a kick-off event for sponsors at Pazzo Pazzo in Morristown.
