 From the year 2000 on,George Mason University in Fairfax,Virginia,presents a jazz con?cert every year. Around 2200 people attended last year's concert in October. Yet when the first concert was held in 2000,the student musicians played to an almost empty theater. Ed Weiner,a lawyer,was one of the few people in the audience when the school held the first jazz concert. "The quality of the performance was outstanding,but I was shocked to see the poor attend?ance."

 So he did something to change it. He found a way not only to increase attendance,but also to raise money. Ed Weiner organized the concerts into a program called Jazz 4 Justice the next year. And the audience responded well to the first performance of Jazz 4 Justice. The perform?ers include students and employees from the university,along with guest musicians.

  The concert raises money for the Fairfax Law Foundation. Foundation officials say Jazz 4 Justice has become the Fairfax Law Foundation's secondlargest fundraiser,bringing in more than$ 20,000 a year; five thousand of that goes to George Mason University for running Jazz 4 Justice,and the rest is used to provide free legal services for people in Fairfax and support programs to help young people learn about the legal system. These include courthouse tours for junior high school students and education about the law and the effects of drug and alcohol abuse on health.

  Jim Carroll heading that program says: "Jfazz4 Justice grew slowly,but it becomes larger and larger each year. And all that really owes to Ed Weiner because he has done so much to help this program. He is the person who is out there on the streets selling tickets,building our audience,and so on."

Mr. Weiner says the idea is to provide a meaningful experience for the young musicians,but Jazz 4 Justice only in Fairfax is not enough. Ed Weiner had met the presidents of other or?ganizations in Virginia and did a presentation on how other organizations can start partnerships between local music and law programs.
