about san jose jazz

San Jose Jazz is a 25 year-old 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation whose mission is to promote jazz through education and performance programs. The organization’s purpose is to enhance the recognized value of arts to the individual and society, to promote healthy individuals and healthy communities, to use music and events to bring people together, and to help build a stronger, more vibrant community through the arts.
 

In 1987 San Jose Jazz produced its first Winter Jazz Series, in 1989 it produced its first Jazz Festival, and in 1993 it produced its first youth education program. Today, San Jose Jazz is a year-round, regional arts organization. It produces a variety of education and performance programs designed to celebrate jazz; to celebrate San Jose’s cultural heritage; and to help make San Jose and the Silicon Valley an increasingly attractive place to live, work, and raise a family.

San Jose Jazz only achieves this mission with your support.
