JAZZ BASH BY THE BAY

Founded in 1980, Dixieland Monterey celebrates the roots of classic jazz, swing, and ragtime, and promotes the education of youth in the art of traditional jazz performance. Each year, enthusiasts from all over the United States and Canada travel to Monterey to enjoy some of the hottest traditional jazz and swing bands from the U.S. and around the world... With vigorous financial support, including a generous bequest and sponsorships from our audience, we are becoming more involved in school music programs. By providing instruments to the schools on a continuing basis and presenting in-school programs with professional musicians we will achieve our goal of encouraging youth to continue the tradition of early jazz.
