Thank for Friending South Shore Jazz Lives! We are campaigning for the Annual South Shore Jazz Festival held at South Shore Cultural Center on the South Side of Chicago. If you or anyone you know are INTO JAZZ MUSIC, share our page South Shore Jazz Lives! This festival has been a tradition for the last 31 years in the community and this year it almost didn't happen. Thankfully a handful of community residents and organizers dared to do what some people said couldn't be done. Spread the word!!! The South Shore Jazz Festival is ON this Year!
