About The San Diego Jazz Musicians Guild

The
San Diego Jazz Musicians Guild, Inc. was inspired by the rich history
of Jazz in San Diego. The vision is devoted to “Building bridges across
the global liberal arts community, through Jazz.” As students of the
arts, it is essential for us to come together in order for the art form
to grow even further. Our city is full of Jazz artists, and growing
every year. Jazz in and of itself has been declared “The one true
American art form” by legislation. In light of our current economic
struggle it is even more important for all artists to help support each
other’s work, so we can continue to create and inspire.

The
specific purpose of this organization is to: provide opportunities for
artists to support the global liberal arts community; raise awareness
of the importance of Art in all forms; support and encourage a higher
quality of Jazz Education, appreciation and understanding in the
community. We will achieve this through outreach programs, research of
the local jazz scene and history, community service, live music and
free events that incorporate all facets of the artistic community.
Through these programs our community can continue to grow, develop and
thrive.
