OVERVIEW – 3 Sails Jazz Fest Ocean County College’s commitment to the Arts Within three years of opening its doors in 1964, Ocean County College (OCC) began enriching the cultural life of citizens through advancing arts education and delivering a variety of artistic performances. OCC’s commitment to the arts continues and is reflected in our efforts to offer the community access to artistic events and performances of the highest caliber. In 2014, Ocean County College received its largest philanthropic gift from the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation to expand and enhance the performing arts center on the Ocean County College campus. This gift has helped OCC increase and improve the range and quality of performances available in Ocean County and to surrounding areas. World-renowned performers and artists are coming to Ocean County College and the community has responded graciously! 3 Sails Jazz Festival Our intention is to make Ocean County College the destination for arts at the Jersey Shore. The 3 Sails Jazz Festival on June 12-13, 2015 is bringing in premiere jazz musicians, generating more interest in the arts at OCC, and elevating all of Ocean County by increasing tourism and travel to the area. This festival builds on the success of OCC’s long-running Mid-Week Jazz Series and the well-attended and praised performance series held at the Grunin Center for the Arts. The festival will take place on the OCC campus in Toms River beginning with master classes for interested musicians and residents and a music concert starting on Friday afternoon going into the evening. The festival will continue with all day activities on Saturday, including performances by world renowned musicians who will draw audiences from all over the Mid-Atlantic region. Performers The featured artists reflect different styles of jazz: classic, smooth, Latin, big band, funk, and contemporary.
