Join Jazz Coalition!

A collective of industry professionals, musicians, fans and supporters, Jazz Coalition identifies global needs affecting the jazz and improvised music community, and strategizes response solutions and opportunities towards action.

MISSION

In an effort to boost collective morale during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jazz Coalition is mobilizing to support artists by commissioning the creation of new works. These commissions will become a new canon of music representing our collective resilience moving us all forward.
