REJS Jazz
REJS Jazz is a growing name on the Jazz scene in Central NJ.  The team is made up of Rich Jackson, Eric Thomas and James Freeman.


A few years ago I was introduced to James Freeman through Eric.  I had known Rich from my softball playing days in Ewing Twp. 

One afternoon while talking Trenton 365 items at Exit 7A with Owner and Sound Engineer Scott Miller, a call came in about a gig at The Big Easy. 

Scott Tixier a fast rising Jazz Violinist would be performing in Trenton, I don’t recall how I became involved in the conversation but I spoke to Eric and made the connection that this was “Eric” the Drumming Instructor for the Trenton Children’s Chorus.


The Scott Tixier performance began my relationship with REJS Entertainment and has allowed me to share my talents with the team as the Emcee for the monthly performances and with marketing ideas.

REJS Entertainment has recently presented Artists; Tony Tixier, John Benitez, Dave Stryker, Monte Croft as well as Sonya Robinson, Shamie Royston, Rudy Royston, Gregg August, Donald Edwards, Steven Feifke, Gordon James, Thomas Galliano and several other artists.

3rd Annual Latino Festival of Hightstown & East Windsor NJ
3rd Annual Latino Festival of Hightstown & East Windsor 
"Bringing our communities together through the arts!"






Rocky Brook Park, nestled in a quiet area of quaint Hightstown NJ near warehouses, historic homes and a few blocks from the Borough Center provided a nice location.  Bordered by a stream and small woods I could imagine walks to observe nature and other outdoor gatherings.

Literature distributed at the event lists several partners, sponsors, a 20+ person Festival Organizing Committee and several Exhibitors, have a look at some links.

With performances by artists from several countries including Belize, Ecudor, Peru, Spain, Guatemala, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic there was plenty to see and hear during the 12-5pm event.

I had the pleasure to chat with Miss Teen Guatemala Isabel Avila, Hamilton Township Councilwoman Ileana Schirmer and Hightstown Councilman Conner Montferrat, have a listen via the Trenton 365 archives.

My time at the 3rd Annual Latino Festival of Hightstown & East Windsor NJ was delightful, with wonderful entertainment and a diverse mix of vendors and exhibitors.








I am encouraged by the continuous efforts of people who believe in making every attempt to assimilate all residents into the community to build a better community.  Kudos to all who are a part of the 3rd Annual Latino festival of Hightstown & East Windsor.
