Jazz Aspen Snowmass

Founded in 1991 and now well past its 30th season, Jazz Aspen Snowmass (JAS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission centers on presenting and preserving jazz and related forms of music through world-class events, performances, and education programs. The all-ages programming lands in two distinct festival windows: late June and over Labor Day weekend in early September. Between the two festivals and JAS's year-round programming, the organization is one of Colorado's essential musical institutions. For guests, catching a JAS festival is a bucket-list Aspen weekend; for artists, playing a JAS event carries genuine national jazz-scene weight.
