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.
