The valley jazz & blues foundation
is an organization dedicated
to promoting and supporting
the live performance of
jazz and blues
in the santa ynez valley
and surrounding communities
THE VENUES
Along with promoting and supporting live performances we are also dedicated to educational outreach - to enrich our community with an appreciation for this art form. We also seek to promote local venues that already host musical performances and those that are interested in doing so. Those venues include:
THE ARTISTS
Our artists range from Grammy award winners and stars in the world of jazz and blues such as Steve Tyrell, Grant Geissman, and Jenny Sheinman , to educational institutions such as the Fernando Pullum Community Arts Center. But our strong focus is on promoting local artists and groups for our local community.
One such group who is receiving a great deal of positive attention and rave reviews is the Valley Jazz Collective. The Valley Jazz Collective is comprised of five of the Santa Ynez Valley’s finest Jazz artists and educators: Les Rose, saxophone, Woody Demarco, piano, Brendan Statom and Pablo Perez bass, and Rex Harte, drums.
