Welcome
THE GIFT of JAZZ ~ "PRESENTing" JAZZ to our Community!
THE GIFT of JAZZ is a Colorado 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization formed in 1995 to support the past, present, and the future of Jazz in the Rocky Mountain Region.
It was established with three main goals in mind....
- to create and preserve the art of jazz and jazz history in the Rocky Mountain region
- to promote and support the development of stellar jazz in the community
- to collaborate and partner with other charitable organizations to implement educational initiatives to enhance jazz in our community
We are presently undergoing a revitalization that involves a fresh look at our programs and initiatives. Please visit the other pages on our site to learn more about our history and current efforts as well as opportunities for your particiaption. We welcome your input and support!

The Gift of Jazz is pleased to present The Blind Tiger events.... a series of themed jazz listening parties held in private residences and other intimate settings benefiting the Gift of Jazz.
The next event in the series will be held on April 18th. The afternoon will feature the Eric Gunnison Trio celebrating the music of Dave Brubeck. Guest chef Jeremy Wilson will be providing SOULFUL culinary treats paired with libations. Each event is designed to be an informal gathering of serious jazz listeners and space is very limited.
For further information and reservations for an upcoming Blind Tiger event click here.
The Gift of Jazz together with DazzleJazz is collecting musical instruments that will be donated or sold to benefit the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts.
Create a lasting legacy by donating any and all musical instruments you no longer play, regardless of their age or condition. Through your donation you can play a key role in a student’s musical development.
Donations may be brought to DazzleJazz at 930 Lincoln St., Denver during business hours. All donations are tax deductible.
