The Jazz Academy of Music (JAM) a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 2002 to advance and preserve Jazz music through education and outreach. During that time, the JAM has provided music education opportunities, in the form of camps, classes, ensembles and concerts, to over 3,500 kids. Nearly 100% of our students go to college and many of them pursue music at prestigious music schools such as Julliard, Berklee and the New England Conservatory. Many students become teachers, touring musicians and all are life-long fans of traditional Jazz. They are passing the joy of America’s classical music to others.

The JAM offers a limited number of scholarships to our educational programs to those interested students who cannot afford to participate. We also offer these students free admittance to concerts produced by JAM, including the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival. As we enter the new year we will continue to work on our goal to expand JAM offerings to more underserved communities and to expose more children to Jazz music. Please help us by making a tax deductible donation to JAM.
