Bringing back the jazz festival in 2023 will be costly and a significant endeavor.

​Please consider making a 1-time or regular DONATION today. Thank you for keeping the jazz alive! 

IN OTHER NEWS, THE SLO JAZZ FESTIVAL NEW DATE IS in application status for September 29, 30, and October 1, 2023. We aim to bring the festival back as a 3-day festival, funding permitted. We may bring about a series of jazz in 2022 called "Inspirationfest 2022" - stay tuned. 

DONATE NOW: supporting live jazz matters - please donate to help us THRIVE! You can create a monthly donation (Yay!) or single time donation (cool!). 

Each contribution helps to celebrate life through jazz by bringing more quality jazz and education to the Central Coast, one event at a time, and thus helps us fulfill our mission.

JAZZ was challenged in 2020 - 2022!

2020 - 2022 marked a trying time for jazz musicians, clubs, and festivals. Being among the first-hit, and worst-hit businesses, we know how much help is needed, and in the spirit of Louis Armstrong, we are asking you to do what "pops" would have done - give...

SLO Jazz Festival and the jazz musicians of SLO County are no different.

We persist because JAZZ music, and all the related music such as Hip hop, R & B, Blues, Funk, Smooth, Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova, Cumbia, Plena, Bachata, Son, Mambo, Merengue, Reggaeton, Reggae, all can tie into and out of New Orleans and the culture of this AMAZING MUSIC. It touches every single one of us deep in our soul and truly, I can tell you, MUSIC HEALS. We need music now more than ever. And we are seeing a HIGH DEMAND for JAZZ! Isn't that great news? 

WE ALSO SET A NEW DATE FOR the return of SLO JAZZ FESTIVAL events: 

The 5th Annual SLO Jazz Festival
is in application status for September 29, 30, October 1, 2023
Location: Mission Plaza
Stages: at least 3, possibly as many as 7
New Feature: LIVE STREAMING

SUMMER JAZZ WORKSHOP
at Cuesta College
July 11-15, 2022
will be offered in February at Cuesta Community Programs and SLO Jazz Festival websites.

We hope to expand the workshop with new special instructors and include scholarships for more students from the Country and Central Coast this year. Our Budget Objective will help us bring in amazing guest instructors and provide more scholarships for the youth. 

OUR MISSION:

Celebrating life & nurturing the human spirit through jazz related education and music, one event at a time.

We have a lot of money to raise, and every contribution gets us closer to these goals. You know how much magic we've created for San Luis Obispo (and surrounding cities) with the beautiful jazz festival. And students emerge wiser musicians - many majoring in music and several becoming leaders of their own jazz combo, production studio, and jazz jam!

Every $250 helps provide a scholarship to a deserving student to the Summer Jazz Workshop.

Every $1,000 is roughly 1/200 of the goal for the jazz festival.

It may seem like a small amount, but each of these checks has ALWAYS mattered in a HUGE WAY for us. Whether a check is for $10, $100, $1000, $10,000, $100,000, or $1,000,000 - they ALL matter. If everyone who reads this page clicks DONATE and gives even $10 - we raise towards the goal. If each person donates AND forwards an email to their friends, adding "please match my donation" can you imagine the impact? It would be phenomenal and amazing.

So, please consider this special time of year for that final year-end donation and make a difference. We thank you so much and wish you a Happy New Year!
