Jim Helder, Vice-President of Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Society . Dr. Jim is a composer/arranger, band leader and saxophonist.  He writes not only for big bands, combos and his Latin band, but also for Orchestra, wind bands and various other small concert ensembles as well.
Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Society' mission is to promote the appreciation of jazz and blues art forms, and to create increased opportunities for established and aspiring musicians.  We meet together every 3rd Sunday of the month.  Everyone is welcome.  At every meeting we feature live music.  Most of the time, we feature guest bands, but sometimes, such as our December meeting, we have a jam session.  You are welcome to come sit in or just enjoy the music as you choose.  

In brief, here is a little information about us. Our society was established in 2006 and became a registered nonprofit organization in 2007.  Our membership has grown to over 125. It is a very diverse group encompassing a wide range of age and ethnicity. We are known for our welcoming friendliness.
