fans can come to meet the performers and writers, get to know the music, and
apprehend the blessing of this God-given experience”. The first edition of the Jazz

Richburg says, “Jazz Gospel Central or JGC is about creating and providing an online
venue, a meeting place and an atmosphere where there is a true voice and advocate
for those gifted artists who are spiritually based and expressive of their musical
gift—a gift which tends to be a little different from what is currently in the
popular mainstream. Jazz Gospel Central or JGC is for those who can appreciate true
music born out of the heart of musicians and singers seeking to express real
musicianship and the artistic tastes in jazz and gospel flavors.”
