What is a 'Jazz House'?
Quite simply, a Jazz House is the creative space where we come together with young people, their families and teachers to share, appreciate and learn about the jazz experience.

It is a mobile house, constantly in play, with wheels that turn on improvisation as it negotiates its way toward that incandescent goal: the celebration of jazz.
It is a house whose foundation is built on:
  • Respect for creativity
  • Tolerance for diversity
  • Harmony in teamwork
  • Love for self and others
  • An abiding passion to preserve the legacy, and ensure the future of jazz.
It is the place where we live.
