Welcome to jazz in the neighborhood

We bring Bay Area jazz innovators and developing players together to share the joy of improvised music and build community around live performances. Our programs connect professional musicians with students and big band players of all ages, for mentoring in the classroom and on the bandstand. Jazz in the Neighborhood, a nonprofit project with fiscal sponsorship through Intersection for the Arts, supplements salaries and supports local venues to help dedicated artists make a living wage. You can play a part in nurturing a great American art form by donating or becoming a member today. Keep up to date with our latest news by joining our mailing list!
