The NYJAZZ Initiative was founded in 2008 to foster the advancement, creative spirit, and appreciation of jazz arts through education and performance activities that harness the talent of master jazz musicians to educate and inspire the next generation of performers and listeners.
Our approach is unique for its combination of dedicated and world renowned performers and educators with talented students of jazz not only in the classroom, but also reminiscent of a time when students of jazz learned their art form on the bandstand alonside the masters.
