Mission

Five Philadelphia jazz organizations are engaged in a collaborative discovery process to preserve, interpret, and share Philadelphia's expansive jazz history. Leading figures in the local jazz community laid the groundwork for a sustainable Philly Jazz Archive, which represents the first coordinated effort to identify and preserve original source materials that tell the story of the city's vibrant jazz tradition.
