Description
The Los Angeles Jazz Institute houses and maintains one of the largest jazz archives in the world. All styles and eras are represented with a special emphasis on the preservation and documentation of jazz in Southern California. The overall mission of the Jazz Institute is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the heritage of this important American art form.
Provide a setting where musicians and their estates can donate or loan their materials with the assurance that they will be preserved for future generations. Place a special emphasis on maintaining and adding to the music archive to establish a setting where the music can be performed on a regular basis insuring that their legacies will live forever.
Actively use the materials in the Archive by maintaining a busy schedule of outreach activities including concerts, festivals, broadcasts, publications and the release of important recordings on compact disc.
