OUR MISSION WORKING TOGETHER WORKS!

The African American Jazz Caucus, Inc., is dedicated
to protecting, preserving and perpetuating the rich

PRESERVING OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN JAZZ LEGACY!




Jazz is an art form which has its origins, spiritual, heritage and cultural roots in Africa, African American communities and the African Diaspora. The African American Jazz Caucus, Inc. (AAJC), is proactively working to maintain the aesthetic integrity, heritage, legacy and historical facts germane to the music. We are engaged in creating programs and providing services to further jazz education.
