"Perpetuating Jazz with a focus on young musicians and young audiences."
The Vail Jazz Foundation welcomes you to explore and enjoy live jazz music and educational programs in and around the Vail Valley. Our love for jazz and our love for this spectacular alpine setting and dynamic community come together at the annual Vail Jazz Festival and in our schools each year.

With educational programs and activities such as the Vail Jazz Workshop and Jazz Goes to School, we are able to reach out to the next generation of players and listeners. The VJF is determined to fulfill its mission by expanding the audience for jazz while supporting young and established artists in their quest to create great music.
Our mission is to perpetuate the jazz art form through the presentation of live performances and education, with a special emphasis on young musicians and young audiences. Our goals are to:
- Educate audiences about Jazz, America’s own art form.
- Entertain and inspire, audience and musician, young and old, resident and visitor, through the presentation of quality jazz in beautiful, inspiring settings.
- Support the growth, development and vitality of the jazz art form through our live performance and education programs.
- Create a distinctive series of annual programs and events to serve performers, students, teachers and the audience.
We ask for your Support, because without it, we would be unable to bring you jazz at its finest. Please help us continue to provide inspirational, exciting, and enriching jazz programs by making a contribution today.
