Annual Re[toboth Jazz Festival
responsibiltties change hands
By Kristen Seal
The Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festi-
val will be planned and organized
by a new group of volunteers this
fall in light of the Rehoboth Beach
Downtown Business Associa-
tion's (RBDBA) continuing ef-
forts to pay off its debts and dis-
solve.
Sydney Arzt, owner of Syd-
ney's Blues and Jazz Restaurant,
is teaming up with fellow down-
town business, owners Linda
DiDomenicis of Boston's and
Dennis Santangini of the Sea
Witch Inn to plan and execute the
annual weekend-long festival in
October.
Since its inception in 1990, The
Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival has
been organized by the RBDBA
and this year, the RBDBA has no
plans to organize the festival.
According to Arzt, the RBDBA
and the Main Street organization
"realized they were two organiza-
tions for similar purposes and they
realized there didn't need to be
two separate groups so the goals
and objectives of the RBDBA will
be picked up by Main Street".
She added that Main Street's pur-
pose is "much broader and wider
than event production and they are
not structured for such a thing, nor
should they be."
Therefore, in order to keep the
festival alive and in downtown
Rehoboth, the threesome has
agreed to organize the 1996 event
which cannot be entitled The Re-
hoboth Beach Jazz Festival due to
copyright laws. Arzt saidno
nam6 has been settled on at this
time.
"We basically have eight weeks
to put together the guts and soul of
the festival. We might be able to
pull off this miracle - and that's
what it is - because we have no
money and no funding. This all
came together within the last
week," said Arzt.
She explained that deadlines to
Sydney Arzt (r) and Linda DiDomenicis, seen at a previous
Rehoboth Jazz Festival they were instrumental in organiz-
ing, are two of the four people who vow to ensure that the
1996 event will go on as planned.
apply for grants have all passed
and eight weeks is all the time the
volunteers have to formulate a
plan in order to raise the needed
money. She and DiDomenicis
and Santangini all met on
Wednesday, April 3 and plan to
work with event producers to as-
sist in raising money.
According to Arzt, no plans will
be made to drastically change the
structure of the festival. Howev-
er, she noted that this year's festi-
val will benefit the Scotty Jazz
Foundation, a newly formed orga-
nization created to raise more
money for southern Delaware's
aspiring young musicians.
"We've been working on the
Scotty Jazz Foundation for about
six months but we just received
corporate status, so to speak, with-
in the last month. We're still
working on the mission and pur-
pose of the foundation, but it has
been created to allow more money
to be raised for young music stu-
dents throughout southern
Delaware," Arzt explained.
"In the past, money for the
Scotty Scholarship was adminis-
tered by the Delaware Music
School strictly for a scholarship
program totally supported by a
small contribution by the Re-
hoboth Beach Jazz Festival,,' Arzt
added. "The needs are far greater
than just one single fundraising
effort, so we're coming up with
other activities to raise money."
She said that the Scotty Jazz
Foundation hopes to work with
