Though Stanford Jazz Workshop and the Stanford Jazz Festival have grown tremendously since the days of the jazz jams, the core value remains: to provide an informal environment in which fans, students, artists, and educators can come together as a community each year to celebrate their love of jazz. We invite you to experience the many facets of this year’s Festival by attending several SJF events. The best way to do so is by becoming an SJW member. Substantial benefits include early access to the best seats and other exclusive perks, such as our members-only events.
