About
Kuumbwa Jazz's mission is to provide opportunities for residents and visitors in Santa Cruz County to enjoy and appreciate the full spectrum of jazz through live performance and education. We present extraordinary regional, national and international musicians and provide educational programs for people of all ages. Kuumbwa Jazz (KJ) in downtown Santa Cruz is heralded as one of the "Great Jazz Venues in the World" (DownBeat Magazine). For over 40 years, KJ has brought the community into the creative presence of internationally acclaimed jazz artists. A short list of performers over the years includes: Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Dave Holland, Diana Krall and Eddie Palmieri. Representing the current exciting generation of world-class musicians dedicated to artistic excellence, Gerald Clayton, Esperanza Spalding, Ambrose Akinmusire, Anat Cohen, Linda Oh, Remy and Pascal LeBoeuf and Joey Alexander have also performed on our stage to enthralled audiences. Presenting nearly 130 concerts a year, in addition to concerts in our 200-seat KJ Center, we also hold concerts in larger venues, allowing us to increase and diversify our audiences while generating revenue. KJ is committed to responsible stewardship and providing a respectful environment that supports artists as well as staff, volunteers, patrons and contributors.
