i was in new york City this spring, and couldn’t help but notice how many of the artists performing in the clubs were also going to play here at this summer’s stanford Jazz Festival. While our goal isn’t necessarily to recreate the new york jazz scene here on campus, we are always looking and listening for the most compelling and creative voices in jazz.

at the stanford Jazz Festival, we bring you more than just a selection of great jazz that covers a variety of genres. We search for artists who collectively represent as many viewpoints as possible, including living legends, young lions, and strong visionary men and women who are leading musical projects that bring a multicultural perspective to this american art form.

additionally, every summer, our renowned stanford Jazz Workshop education programs are the magnet that brings artists into residence in our community. having these artists come together to teach and perform enables us to offer you something unique: exciting concerts by combinations of musicians whom no one anywhere has ever heard play together. the results can be magical, and represent one of the ways stanford Jazz Workshop has for decades nurtured the creativity of the art form.

When i return to new york next year, i won’t be surprised to find musicians playing together who deepened their creative connections here at sJW. thank you for being part of this supportive and enthusiastic community of artists, students and listeners who are helping to move the music forward. Welcome to the 2015 stanford Jazz Festival!

AttheStanfordJazzWorkshop,we know that jazz makes the world a better place. it’s an art form rooted in self-expression, cooperation, active listening, and mutual respect for everyone’s voice. it teaches one to embrace the unexpected, to find beauty in spontaneity, and to champion teamwork. the benefits of exposure to jazz are even more pronounced among young people. Kids who play jazz early in life develop improved social and cognitive skills, and find a lifelong love of music. they benefit from contact with the positive role models they encounter as members of the extended sJW community.

the core mission of sJW is to provide the benefits of jazz immersion programs to all musicians who have an interest in jazz. Equally important is our goal of delivering world-class jazz performances for over 15,000 Festival attendees each year. your support, at any level, helps us achieve these key objectives in many ways:

> Allows us to provide financial aid and scholarships to students who might otherwise be unable to attend our programs. Every year, over 100 of our students benefit from financial aid and scholarship support.

> Enables us to expand our programming to bring high quality jazz education to a variety of communities year-round.

> Helpsus bring artists of the highest caliber to perform at the Festival and teach in our summer and year-round programs.

A barrier-breaking tenor sax legend. in 1966, Charles lloyd’s million-seller quartet album Forest Flower – featuring a young Keith Jarrett – blasted serious jazz into the pop world. Charles toured like a rock star then suddenly disappeared for a decade. Forty years of brave experimentation with soul-mates like michel Petrucciani and bobby mcFerrin have honed his sometimes stark, sometimes ecstatic, always intoxicating sound. Charles’ unerring knack for choosing adrenalizing young band-mates such as these invariably ensures an inspiring concert experience, and this one features a lineup you won’t hear anyplace else.
