Led by the Rev. Norman Fong, Jest Jammin aka Chinatown Soul Band, has entertained the public for over 40 years. In 1968 Norman Fong, Brad Lum, & Ed Toy, got together with a couple of other friends, formed a band that was unnamed until 1971 when they added more members and officially called themselves Jest Jammin. They are the last of the Local Chinatown bands from the 60s and 70s, and are still enjoying a popularity from an enthusiastic public. Historic in San Franciscos Chinatown, and comprised of home grown talent, Jest Jammin has been performing their wide repertoire of music from the soulful 60s and 70s, including tunes from recent decades. They can be seen in numerous venues throughout Northern California, from college campuses to large public functions. The band members have grownup to various careers, but remain close friends and continue to enjoy accommodating requests to perform their energetic music. == 5th Annual Chinatown Music Festival Saturday, Aug 16 11:00a to 5:00p Portsmouth Square San Francisco, CA 5th Annual Chinatown Music Festival is an all day music festival and will present the work of composer/pianist Jon Jang, the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble, the psychedelic rock of Queen Crescent, CPA Youth Mojo drum ensemble, Japantown taiko performer Melody Takata, Jest Jammin’, and live interactive performance art by installation artist Summer Lee.
