Jazz music is a positive and creative genre
played from the heart for the sheer love of the art.
This jazz fair is intended to showcase performers
giving them the opportunity to perform in front of
peers, a respectful audience and to enjoy this
exceptional opportunity. This Jazz Fair is not an open
stage show. All performers are selected and
allotted performance time.
Submissions are being accepted in all styles of jazz.
All ages and groups are welcome to submit. Featured
performers must be able to perform a 20 - 30 minute
set of jazz music. Original music is always welcome
but performers must provide appropriate charts.
A bass and guitar accompaniment will be backing
the featured performers unless you already have
a performing band to play with. All musicians are
responsible for providing their own instruments.
* A house keyboard will be available for players.
All demos are accepted online. Please forward us
