Relix will host its second annual CMJ music showcase at New Yorks Lions Den Thursday as part of the citywide music conference. This years showcase will feature several of the winners from the second annual JamOff competition including Green Lemon, Blue Method, Scarecrow Collection, Plum Crazy and Jacob. As in the past, the winners of this years competition were judged and selected anonymously by a number of Jambands.com/Relix staffers and will appear on a forthcoming compilation included in Relix Magazine.

In other CMJ news, Joe Russo, Bill Frisell, Ethan Iverson (The Bad Plus), Chris Potter and DJ Logic will all appear on a CMJ panel at 3 PM Wednesday at Lincoln Center. The panelists will discuss a wide range of topics, including the ever-blurring lines between jazz and rock, and the art of improvisation.
