100 Years of Miles: The Unbroken Line from Miles Davis to the JAZZ ROOM Stage

JAZZ ROOM's Miles Davis Centennial Celebration on April 17–18 something more than a tribute concert. It's the living continuation of a musical lineage that runs directly from Miles Davis through Wallace Roney Sr. to the young man who will be on our stage.

The Man Who Gave Jazz Its Month: Dr. John Edward Hasse and the Story Behind Jazz Appreciation Month

Every April, jazz clubs, schools, libraries, and cultural organizations across the country, and around the world, dedicate the month to celebrating jazz. Concerts are programmed. Posters go up. Students get introduced to the music for the first time. Here at JazzArts Charlotte, it's one of our favorite times of the year. But Jazz Appreciation Month didn't just happen. One person made it happen. And the story of how, and why, is worth knowing.

JazzArts Charlotte Presents Jazz Girls Day!

Jazz Girls Day is an event specifically designed to invite girls and young women into the world of jazz. It includes games, clinics, jam sessions, performances, and panel discussions to help give girls a break from the male dominated jazz world they encounter on all other days.
