Year Established: 2007
Purpose: Our aim is to enrich the public’s understanding of what is jazz and create broader awareness of the lives and works of all local artistes, particularly those who embraced the genre. Our first task is to stimulate interest in jazz, educate the population and make jazz popular. We want to promote jazz and advance music education by hosting concerts and other cultural promotions aimed at resuscitating jazz in Guyana. Our second major task is to create a lasting place for jazz on the national tourism calendar by hosting –perhaps in collaboration with other likeminded individuals and units- countrywide jazz and other musical events until we are able to host with confidence an annual jazz festival in Guyana.
