Special to Prospector
Nevada County is home to an impressive number of world class musicians, so much so that residents may take for granted the level of mastery found on the entertainment calendars at local eateries and other venues on a regular basis. This Sunday an exceptional gathering of jazz greats will gather to pay tribute to a couple of those local legends when The Sierra Jazz Society presents the First Annual Bill Douglass & Nora Nausbaum Jazz Picnic at Pioneer Park in Nevada City beginning at 6 p.m.
In 2001 the Nevada City Arts Council hired Douglass to organize a jazz camp, but after losing funding just a couple of years later, Douglass and Nausbaum formed the 501c3 the Sierra Jazz Society in 2003. The Sierra Jazz Societyis dedicated to jazz education and promotion. Best known for their annual Jazz Camps and workshops held in Nevada County and the surrounding areas, the Sierra Jazz Society had an indelible effect on the local music scene for about 15 years going dormant
