OVERVIEW
HISTORY
The Atlanta Jazz Festival is an annual celebration of music, art and culture, highlighting the heritage of jazz music. The Atlanta Jazz Festival includes a series of events beginning in March of each year and culminating each Memorial Day weekend, in one of the largest free jazz festivals in the country.
Atlanta Jazz Festival was established with the help of Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson in 1978. The city’s commitment was to present a free jazz festival – straight ahead, avant-garde, improvisational, harmonically and rhythmically complex and beautiful. It would showcase the best performers of “pure” jazz, eschewing the genre blends. Thirty-seven years later, the Atlanta Jazz Festival has stayed true to that mission. As the genre has birthed many other forms, jazz still lives on and continues to evolve in its truest form. Atlanta Jazz Festival is one of the few places in the country where masses of music enthusiasts, families and culture lovers gather year after year to hear and experience this great American musical tradition.

entertainment venues around the city to present the best in local jazz. These intimate concerts and special evenings are a highlight of the AJF season.
Neighborhood Jazz Series
The Neighborhood Jazz Series is an Atlanta Jazz Festival signature concert series held every weekend in the month of May. Each Neighborhood Jazz Series mini concert is presented by a City of Atlanta Councilmember in a neighborhood park within their district. This series brings the jazz experience into communities throughout the city while giving families an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Atlanta's parks.
Edgewood Jazz Crawl The Edgewood Jazz Crawl is a fun interactive event in Edgewood, one of Atlanta’s hottest up-and-coming districts. There will be live music and Jazz themed activations at venues and business all along Edgewood Ave. We will be working closely with the brand new Street Car and invite people to go for a ride while enjoying a live jazz performer inside of the street car. Jazz Education Workshops
Jazz Education Workshops, held throughout the concert weekend, aim to educate the community about the history of jazz as well as the future of the genre. In 2014, Roy Hargrove led a trumpet workshop and the Airmen of Note discussed effective rehearsal strategies, just to name a few of the presented classes. Late Night Jazz Jam
After enjoying all-day jazz presented in Piedmont Park, contemporary jazz music lovers make their way to the highly anticipated Late Night Jazz Jam. This live jam session features an exciting contemporary jazz artist, as well as a DJ who melds popular music with jazz standards for a musical experience that both preserves and celebrates jazz music’s history of late night jamming.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND CONCERT
For 37 years, Memorial Weekend has been reserved for Atlanta Jazz Festival with multiple days of free music, food, art and family fun as 200,000+ music lovers descend on Piedmont Park. In 2015, the Atlanta Jazz Festival will open on Friday, May 22 with an evening concert that kicks off the festival and the holiday weekend. Saturday and Sunday will be full days of performance, beginning in the afternoon and running into the late evening. The jazz festival Main Stage features some of the top named jazz performers in the country. In past years, Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal, Roy Ayers, Tito Puente and Tito Puente, Jr. have all played the jazz festival Main Stage. The International Stage features musicians from all over the world including Cuba, France, South America, Africa, and Mexico. This lively presentation of jazz music culture is a display of Atlanta’s cultural diversity. Between the two stages, patrons walk through our Arts Marketplace, where they look forward to scouting rare finds and collectible art works directly from local artists. And no festival is complete without funnel cakes and slushies! AJF Concessions feature all of those edible summertime favorites that make festival memories. The Jazz Education Series is also part of the weekend festival. Jazz artists present masterclasses, and panel discussions with jazz historians, artists and educators inform patrons about the heritage of jazz and its impact on many aspects of modern culture. Families enjoy our Kid’s Zone with games and activities throughout the afternoon in the Piedmont Park Meadow. Our artists and special guests are treated to the exclusive AJF VIP Lounge with a live feed of festival performances and daily catered food and beverages.
