What JazzWest is All About...

JazzWest.com is dedicated to celebrating and promoting the creatively rich jazz scene in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Launched in early 1999, the site has become a focal point of the Bay Area's jazz community for fans, musicians and jazz-related businesses. Our core mission is to create and sustain an online community for all things jazz in the Bay Area and surrounding areas.

Our staff and contributors...

In addition to our regular monthly content — news and feature articles, artist profiles, and a comprehensive calendar of jazz performances around the Bay — we also host the JazzWest Directory, where jazz artists, clubs and concert halls, festivals, educational groups and jazz-related businesses can promote their work to a direct, targeted audience of Bay Area jazz fans.

JazzWest.com wouldn't be possible, of course, without the generous support of the entire jazz community here in the Bay Area. Our thanks to you for your continued support of JazzWest, celebrating the best in Bay Area jazz!
