Defining Jersey Club<\/h2>\n

Kamille King:<\/strong> So, the first question is this: What is Jersey Club music and dance?<\/p>\n

Anthony \u201cSolo\u201d Harris:<\/strong> There are so many different meanings. It means a lot to different generations. Jersey has always been Jersey. There has always been a culture in Jersey for music and dance that goes back to the \u201970s and even the \u201960s with the whole jazz movement. In the \u201980s, however, Jersey had some of the best clubs, like Zanzibar, Sensations, and a whole bunch of other spots that people could research. So, it was like a hub, a mecca where artists and music were coming through from all different types of places and backgrounds.<\/p>\n
