ABOUT BBJAZZ
Top smooth jazz artists (WAVE style music), perform to raise funds for
various causes, but most of the contributions support programs for children
with autism. The figures about autism are staggering. It's likely that you
or someone you know will be touched by autism and when it happens, there's
rarely enough information to help you figure out what it is and what to do
about it.
One family, Corky & Betty Bennish, and Betty's sister, Diane Adams and her
husband, Cliff Rehrig (formerly performed with hit group, Air Supply), all
were touched personally with autism when the Adams' son had autism. Rather
than feel like victims, they took action to make the world a better place.
Using their knowledge of the music industry, they created a concert series
as a fundraiser to support research and programs for autism.
For several years the family has produced smooth jazz concerts featuring top
recording artists who come to Huntington Beach to perform. They also have
organized a day-long jazz concert series in Central Park. This event has
been a huge success and great value in entertainment.
If you have an opportunity to attend one of the concerts featuring Marion
Meadows (saxophonist), Mindi Abair, Rick Braun, or a host of top acts, the
added bonus of lifting your spirit with a cause is just icing on the cake
for seeing some of the world's top talents perform in Huntington Beach. The
concert venues usually include Huntington Beach Library Concert Theater,
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Ballroom and Central Park outdoor lawns
behind Central Library.
