Jazz St. Louis is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to the thriving of jazz in America through our mission: to promote, present, and preserve jazz in greater St. Louis and to enhance St. Louis' reputation as a premier jazz center. St. Louisans have played and listened to jazz for almost a century. They are the only organization in the St. Louis area working to celebrate and extend that rich heritage by making St. Louis a flourishing jazz community, and, we hope, by setting an example that other American cities will emulate. <view their site>
