Projects, Efforts, and Actions
2022 gives us the chance to continue our work to examine the structures in place within our jazz community— from panels, weekly playlists, films presented by Northwest Film Forum, and a series of events at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Evolution
Jazz: The Second Century
We continue to ask ourselves what shapes does jazz take, but what about in the case of this year— 2022? We’re adapting this annual juried series from a live concert setting to a pre-recorded audio/video presentations. Join us at our watch parties during the festival.
