Jazz ruled Saturday night, Sept. 13, in North Bend, during the third annual Jazz Walk, hosted by and for the Boxley’s Music Fund.

Eighteen venues played host to an evening celebrating jazz music, and local and regional artists delivered. Crowds of jazz lovers made their way every few minutes between businesses, restaurants and cafes on North Bend Way, listening to dozens of groups, trios, duos, vocalists and student musicians inside.

The event helps the Boxley’s Music Fund, which pays for Boxley’s club music performances and educational events, such as weekly youth and teen performances.
