The Angel City Jazz Festival – LA’s most adventurous jazz festival – was conceived in 2008 as a vehicle to present the best contemporary West Coast jazz and beyond.
Since then the festival has grown into an essential multi-day celebration of creative Jazz from around the world, at some of the most exciting & prestigious venues in LA, such as LACMA, REDCAT at Disney Hall, Zipper Hall, the World Stage, Zebulon and 2220 Arts + Archives (formerly the Bootleg.)
The festival is presented by Angel City Arts, a non-profit organization committed to cultivating and revitalizing jazz culture in Los Angeles by producing concerts by established and emerging music innovators who have brought forward a significant contribution to the evolution of jazz and improvised music.
The Angel City Jazz Festival consistently features the most innovative and original musicians working today, balancing established artists with emerging talent, and focusing on west coast creative jazz, past, present and future.
