San Diego singer/songwriter Jefferson Jay oversees the hall of fame, which will welcome six new members this week
The Ocean Beach musician has written more than 1,500 songs.
“I like to think of our event as a community event first and music event second,” Jay says. “It’s a celebration of our music and our culture.” The emphasis this fall also is on educators, as personified by Zeiger, whose coaching has launched musical careers of numerous San Diego youth. Jimmy Cheatham also was an instructor who led UC San Diego jazz programs until he retired in 2005. Gustavo Romero is currently a professor at the University of North Texas College of Music.
Jay vowed to replicate that camaraderie in the music world, both to help lift up musicians and to cultivate appreciation for music throughout the San Diego community.
