If you love jazz, make plans now join like-minded music lovers for the Exit Zero Jazz Fest, scheduled November 9-11, 2018 at the Cape May Convention Hall and various venues around town. Highlights of the three-day weekend include more than 40 sets by some of the world’s most accomplished jazz artists, including five-time Grammy winner and newly minted NEA Jazz Master Dianne Reeves and two-time Grammy winner Marcus Miller. The fun kicks off with the traditional pre-opening benefit concert on Thursday, November 8. This year, the fest gives a nod to the birthplace of jazz in “A Night in New Orleans: A Benefit Concert for Music Connects” featuring the legendary Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers.
