Our Programs include the following:
SLO Jazz Festival — Sept 18-20, 2020. We hope to expand the jazz festival in 2020. We’ve grown the jazz festival from a half-day 2-stage event to full-day 4-stage event with stages for International & regional acts, a side stage for regional and local bands, a stage for college bands and high school bands. We hope to grow the jazz festival to  multiple days and grow the number of stages each year. We are planning on putting on a 5th Jazz Festival. We have featured artists such as Poncho Sanchez, Charlie Hunter & Scott Amendola, Walle Schnalle, Joshua Redman, Alfredo Rodriguez, John Santos, Boogie Stomp, Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Airto & Eyedentity, Pete Escovedo, John Worley, Paul McCandless, and many more.

​Other special events: We also have had special concerts at various points throughout the year, including Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve at Allegretto with a Tribute to Sinatra, a Blame It On The Bossa Nova brazilian party, jazz jams, and more.

Summer Jazz Workshop

2020 Summer Jazz Workshop (dates coming soon). The Summer Jazz Workshop, a            collaborative with Cuesta Jazz, Cuesta Community Programs, and SLO Jazz Festival, hopes to expand to a full week and full day in 2020. We almost tripled our attendance in 2019 from 12  to 33 students! Our Inner Circle $5K+ memberships include sponsorship of a deserving student in 2020. This year, we had John Worley, Wally Schnalle, and Terry Lawless as guest instructors!
