Jazz in New Jersey has a rich history including the birth of musicians James P. Johnson and Count Basie. The historical record of the development of jazz is maintained at the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University. While much of the development of jazz occurred in nearby New York City, there has always been a vibrant presence of Jazz in Newark, New Jersey, chronicled in book-length histories.
