Charles “Chico” Rouse

Chico’s House of Jazz is Rouse Jr’s way of paying homage to and carrying on the legacy of his father, the great Charles Rouse. Best known for his years of work as a tenor sax player alongside the widely admired Thelonious Monk; Charles Rouse has influenced and continues to influence millions of people around the world.

Chico wishes not only to honor his father with this club, but to also bring back the rich and unique world of Jazz that has seemingly taken a back seat to other music genres for the past few decades.

When it comes to the entertainment and music industry, Charles “Chico” Rouse Jr. has the most important skill one can possess: experience. He has twenty-five years of combined experience as a producer and promoter for artists such as the acclaimed blues guitarist and singer-songwriter, B.B. King, to the likes of rapper and actor, 50 Cent. Chico has also committed himself to bettering his community by producing local events held in Asbury Park, Long Branch, and Red Bank.

With Chico handling all of the music bookings at The House of Jazz, the area will surely be blessed with some of the best music that has been played or performed here in years.


Maria D’Onofrio

Bringing a true passion for music and art, along with a strong background in business, Maria has worked diligently to get where she is today. She has brought a breath of fresh air to the group; providing advice and insight on the use of organic products and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. Her countless ideas and attention to detail clearly show her presence will undeniably give the club its own unique touch.

Maria's strong passion for preservation and great respect for the earth ensure that Chico's House of Jazz will be as “green” a business as possible.

Maria is a certified Yoga instructor, has a degree in elementary early childhood education, and served as a gemologist in Manhattan for years. With her plethora of experience, Maria certainly obtains the intelligence, uniqueness, and dedication necessary to run and improve any business; especially one that brings out her best characteristics.
