Our mission is to entertain and inform people about the uniquely American art of jazz through exceptional live performances, and to provide inspiration and scholarships for young musicians in the city of Cambridge. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
The Cambridge Jazz Festival was born through the combined talents and efforts of former City Councilor Larry Ward, and Chair of the Ensemble Department at the Berklee School of Music, Ron Savage. It is their vision that the interest, energy and excitement generated by The Cambridge Jazz Festival will be the catalyst for a lasting, sustainable Culture of Jazz in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The Cambridge Jazz Festival is a volunteer organization bring great FREE jazz to the city of Cambridge. We also raise money for The Johnny Hodges Fund, which supports the musical aspirations of Cambridge students.
