Vail Jazz Foundation

- dedication to jazz though the presentation of jazz performances and education

The Vail Jazz Foundation welcomes you to explore and enjoy live jazz music and educational programs in and around the Vail Valley. Our love for jazz and our love for this spectacular alpine setting and dynamic community come together at the annual Vail Jazz Festival and in our schools each year.

Our mission is to perpetuate the jazz art form through the presentation of live performances and education, with a special emphasis on young musicians and young audiences.

We strive to:

• Educate audiences about Jazz, America’s own art form.
• Entertain and inspire you, whether audience or musician, young or old, resident or visitor, through the presentation of quality jazz music.
• Perpetuate the jazz art form through our programs.
• Create a distinctive series of annual programs and events to serve performers, students, teachers and the audience.

 

With educational programs and activities such as the Vail Jazz Workshop and Jazz Goes to School, we are able to reach out to the next generation of players and listeners. The VJF is determined to fulfill its mission by expanding the audience for jazz while supporting young and established artists in their quest to create great music.

 

Whether you prefer to listen to jazz while relaxing under a sunny Rocky Mountain sky, or to get down with the musicians themselves, the VJF Vail Jazz Festival offers something for everyone.
