The Etowah Jazz Society is a Big Band.We are a 501c3 organisation and benefit the local music programs and provide college scholarships, tuition, and music funds for the local high schools and other organisations.The Etowah Jazz Society (EJS) was formed in April of 2002 as a not-for-profit organization by a group of dedicated local area musicians who love to perform a wide variety of music, ranging from Big Band-era classics to jazz standards to Broadway and pop hits.
EJS is comprised of some 17 players from all walks of life who live in the local and surrounding communities.
