Arkansas Jazz Educators

The Arkansas Jazz Educators was established to promote the understanding and appreciation of jazz and its artistic performance, and to help interested parties in the development of jazz in schools and universities.

Cadron Creek Outfitters is hoping to support musicians with yet another music festival -- this one devoted to jazz and promoted as Jam Jazz Fest (www.JamJazzFest.com) -- a two-day camping, jazz and arts festival at Pinnacle Springs Campground (basically between Greenbriar & Damascus; see map on the website) later this month -- July 24-25.

The Arkansas Jazz Educators invite you to join in the growth of jazz in Arkansas (PDF and Word applications available here). Now all of the money raised by the group will stay in Arkansas and contribute to the growth of musicianship and education in our state. Dues have also been reduced for both individuals and associate members. We will still be sponsoring events, programs and works such as the All State Jazz etudes, jazz presentations at ABA, and All State jazz clinicians.
