Our Mission
The Charlottesville Jazz Society is dedicated to the promotion, preservation and perpetuation of all jazz. This is accomplished through education, performance, partnering and community outreach for members and the general public.
Our Vision
In 1987 the United States Congress designated jazz as a rare and valuable national American treasure to which we should devote our attention, support and resources to make certain it is preserved, understood and promulgated.
The Charlottesville Jazz Society strives to be a vital link between the jazz fan, and our local jazz community, as well as the national jazz scene.
Continuously working on membership development, the Charlottesville Jazz Society intends to provide members with easy access to jazz and jazz related materials or information.
By partnering with WTJU-91.1 FM (or http://wtju.net) the Charlottesville Jazz Society strives to promote jazz by keeping the public well informed of jazz performances, news and events in our area.
And by keeping our members abreast of jazz events in Charlottesville, we hope to encourage more attendance at the clubs and theaters that present jazz. This increased interest in turn will prod the venue owners to put more live jazz on their schedules, benefiting both the artists and fans. So please, support live jazz in Charlottesville.
