We work collaboratively with partner organizations to invigorate the community educationally and socially, while building future audiences for America’s unique cultural heritage - jazz. Through concerts, educational programs, scholarships, and the summer music camp, Back-Country Jazz makes significant contributions to building stronger communities. Our programs focus on urban centers and disadvantaged children.

Jazz is the only uniquely American art form.
