Robert J. Tuzzo Named to Board of Directors at The Jazz Arts Project

Red Bank, N.J. - CEO and owner of Total Financial Concepts Inc., Robert J. Tuzzo, will join the board of directors of the Jazz Arts Project, a Red Bank N.J. non-profit organization. The Jazz Arts Project is instrumental in introducing jazz music to young students. They hold educational workshops and special programs designed especially for young students, many of whom have never seen or held a musical instrument. Jazz Arts Projects camps teach youngsters about music and get them interested in jazz in the hopes that their appreciation will help to preserve and grow this great American art form and captivate their interest for years to come. As the newest member of their board of directors Mr. Tuzzo hopes to further assist the group in their stated mission to, “preserve, promote and perpetuate the American musical art form known as jazz.”

Bob Tuzzo is the owner of a financial services company, and probably the first person you want call to get a life insurance quote, but he is also a lifelong musician a avid supporter of the musical arts in New Jersey. He is a close friend of the Jazz Arts Project and recently took advantage of an opportunity to perform at their 6th Annual Frank Sinatra Birthday Bash, held on December 7, 2012.
 
Tuzzo began performing professionally when he was just ten years old, an early start that would eventually lead the singer and drummer into some of the hottest nightclubs in New Jersey. From 1972 through 1985 Bob was a member of the popular trio known as FDR Drive and shared the same bill with legendary bands such as Danny and the Juniors, The Earls, The Dovells and the Shirelles.

In 1985 Bob turned his focus from the band to his career and the financial services industry. He is now the owner and CEO of Total Financial Concepts, Inc., an integrated financial planning services firm located in Edison, N.J. Over the years he has worked closely with the board of the Jazz Arts Project so it was no surprise when they asked Bob if he would consider joining them; an invitation that he enthusiastically accepted.
 
“I am very excited to be part of the Jazz Arts Project’s board of directors. This will allow me to utilize my experience in the financial services industry to help grow the financial health of the organization which will ultimately perpetuate and reignite interest in this wonderful art form,” said Tuzzo. “I hope to bring new and fresh ideas to the organization that will help us continue to nurture the rising talent of young students interested in jazz,” added Tuzzo.
