TOMS RIVER – “Jester Jim” Maurer, who has performed for 14 years, will present his show that mixes juggling with beatboxing, balancing and comedy to children and their families in seven Ocean County Library branches during July and August.

Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion that is prominent in much of contemporary hip-hop music. This artistic form produces the sounds of such musical instruments as drum beats, horns, and plucked strings. People are also familiar with its sounds that imitate a physically manipulated turntable.
