The State Theatre presents the 4^th annual New Jersey Blues & Jazz Festival at the Backstage Jazz Club, September 23-26, 2010. It’s an all-star musical lineup in an intimate setting for serious and casual jazz and blues fans alike.

Featured performances during the festival include Sugar Blue (9/23/10 at 8pm); Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Jazz Septet (9/24/10 at 8pm & 10pm); Maria Muldaur and Her Red Hot Bluesianna Band (9/25/10 at 8pm & 10pm); and violinist Regina Carter (9/26/10 at 11:30am). All four performances take place in the exclusive 230-seat club-style venue on stage, called the Backstage Jazz Club. This on stage venue is custom designed to give patrons an exclusive club-style experience just inches away from the artists.

The Backstage Jazz Club provides a unique environment for patrons to relax on stage, face the beautiful interior of the magnificently renovated 1921 hall, and experience music from living jazz and blues greats up close and personal. The venue’s entrance and all accommodations are backstage. There will be assigned table and chair seating, as well as light fare, and a fully-stocked bar. The New Jersey Blues & Jazz Festival is sponsored by New Millennium Bank and The Karma Foundation.
