The Louisville Jazz Society's mission is to encourage, nourish and promote Jazz through live, public and on-line performances by local, regional and national level Jazz artists and engage in Outreach educational activities and related activities.

The Goals of the LJS include:

Who We Are

Our mission is to excite, educate and engage the public with the vibrant rhythms and sounds of our great living heritage of jazz. We promote and honor the legacy of jazz and strive to ensure its future by identifying and nurturing the local emerging jazz musicians and patrons of tomorrow.

Specifically, our goals are to:

Increase community-wide awareness of the existence of the one true American art form--Jazz.

Provide venues for the performance of Jazz in its many idioms and make these performances available to the public as well as to LJS membership.

Help foster an appreciation for Jazz in our young people by:

1. Promoting Jazz concerts which appeal to their age group
2. Providing more Jazz education to a wider group of young people
3. Giving more attention to financial aid for their age group

To develop a comprehensive educational plan to provide Jazz performances and dialogue to those who would normally not have access to this music. Educational programs should be provided to primary, secondary and collegiate institutions, but not be limited to academic forums.

To provide diverse venues for Jazz, thereby gaining more public awareness and greater geographic drawing power.

To provide opportunities for local Jazz artists to perform.

To develop outreach programs to export Jazz and provide opportunities for regional musicians to perform in communities outside the immediate metropolitan Louisville area.
