The Jazz Gallery

Where worker bees once toiled, trumpets now sound! This two-room venue was crafted from converted office space and it draws the city’s jazz luminaries not only to the stage, but into the audience (this is where city’s musicians come when they want to hear great music). Paying it forward, the venue commissions new works, and has programs pairing novices with pros for performances and seminars. A number of musicians who have been nurtured by the Gallery have gone on to win MacArthur Genius grants and Grammy Awards.
