Organization Summary
Jazz in Schools — A free program initiated in 1988 that brings the joy of jazz every year to 16,000 elementary school children who attend Los Angeles public schools.

New Note — Inaugurated in 2013 to support emerging jazz composers by commissioning new works. The Society partners with the prestigious Angel City Jazz Festival each year to premier the new work.
