how to help

You don't need to contribute funds to make a difference.  Jazz Generation is always on the lookout for used pianos, new venues, and Jazz Ambassadors to spread the word. Click here to get involved. 

For those of you who can contribute, here is what your donation can do:

• For jazz professionals, KEYED UP! creates regular playing opportunities in neighborhood venues that are free to the public.

• For younger jazz musicians, the Jazz Standard Youth Orchestra provides the invaluable experience of a weekly gig on one of New York's most famous stages and the opportunity to study with jazz greats.

• For New York City grade school children, the Jazz Discovery Program invites classes to take an unforgettable field trip to a jazz club where a band of jazz greats awaits to educate and perform jazz/blues for them, often for the first time.

Every donation goes a long way. With the help of jazz lovers like you, our younger generation can study and perform with the greats, underworked musicians can find steady performance opportunities, the music can be exposed to 100's of new listeners each week, and local establishments can enjoy bigger crowds; crucial help with their bottom lines. Thank you!
