Mission
The MHJB Association promotes live jazz performances, more than 25 per year, in and around Carson City; educates the public about jazz; and enriches the cultural life of the community. The Assoc. supports the MHJB, an 18-piece big band+vocalist, and its affiliated jazz combos. It produces a multi-day, admission-free jazz festival, assists school music programs, presents workshops for student musicians, plays benefits for other charitable organizations, and holds four Jazz & Poetry events annually.
