A CALL TO PARTICIPATE - 212-255-8455 ext. 25

“WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN” is a growing hurricane relief effort that is looking for additional New York City jazz and blues clubs to sign on. With so many different clubs, and so many different circumstances, we can’t impose one across-the-board donation policy. We simply ask that you get creative, utilize the spirit of jazz, and give as much as you can.
