Jazz festival to be organized in Vienna

It is being considered as a maiden Vienna Jazz Festival that has the charm of making people sway to the music.

According to the local musician and organizer for the event, David Wells, this festival added different entertainment to Vienna. He added that he desired to bring a unique entertainment-filled night to the region.

He founded the Chocolate Jazz Foundation in August 2008. The event was hosted on Saturday as a fundraiser for area schools and their music programs.

It has been said that the organization has conducted over 150 fundraisers for public schools in West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. According to the details provided by the organizers, roughly $250,000 has been raised for music departments in these areas.

Frank Byers, of Little Hocking, said, "It's for (Wells') foundation and that's the most important thing. I appreciated that because a lot of woodworking shops have gone out of the schools".

He added that he does not like the fact that the children in the area are not exposed to those kinds of crafting jobs. He said that the music forms an important ingredient of life and gives one character and balance. It has the potential of decreasing stress in life.
