International Biofuel and
Biochemical Corporation
5 River Road, Suite 301
Wilton, CT  06897

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  You have requested my opinion as counsel for the International
Biofuel and Biochemical Corporation formerly named J-Bird Music Group, Ltd., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the "Registrant"), in connection with the registration
under the 1933 Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the public offering by the selling shareholder (the
"Selling Shareholders") named in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form
S-8, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about
February 12, 2003 (the "Registration Statement"), of an aggregate of 1,475,000
shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, $.001 par value per share, currently
issued and outstanding in the name of the Selling Shareholders (the "Shares").

                  I have examined the Registration Statement in the form to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Registrant as certified by the Secretary of State of the
State of Pennsylvania, the Bylaws and the minute books of the Registrant as a
basis for the opinion hereafter expressed.

                  In addition to the above, I have also examined such other
documents and records and have made such further investigations as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinion set forth in this letter. In
making such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity of
authentic originals of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostat
copies. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied
upon statements of officers of the Registrant.

                  Based on the foregoing examination, it is my opinion, and I so
advise, that the 1,475,000 Shares currently are, and upon sale in the manner
described in the Registration Statement will be, legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.



                                       48


                  This opinion is furnished solely for use in connection with
the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

                  I consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         s/H. Melville Hicks, Jr. H.
                                         ----------------------------
