Sue Davoli, Exit Zero Jazz Festival

Melodic sounds, gentle waves, and pre-summer rays makes Sue Davoli’s experience as the Box Office Queen for the Exit Zero Jazz Festival so much fun.

“Complex harmonies, syncopated rhythms, and a heavy emphasis on improvisation” (Masterclass.com, Nov 8, 2020) sets the stage for the Exit Zero Jazz Festival. Founded by Michael Klein upon his return from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

COVID prompted Exit Zero to pivot in order to bring music back to Cape May. Volunteers helped to navigate the protocols and cerate a space where everyone felt safe.

Training for their volunteers’ ranges depending on the task being asked to perform. Student volunteers bring a unique perspective to the festival.
Sue shares the how Exit Zero motivates their volunteers, when a T-shirt just won’t do.

It is the 10th anniversary of the festival this year. The line up includes Artemis, Charles Lloyd, Keyon Harrold Quintet, Melissa Aldana, and Marcus Miller. New Orleans Second Line, Snacktime Philly, and Brass Queens. And Sue’s favorite, Conjunto Philly.
