The L.A. Jazz Scene Newspaper was started in 1987

It was an idea, to bring information about the jazz scene to the jazz community, those who wanted to know where they could hear live jazz. The idea grew quickly, as our newspapers were distributed all around the Los Angeles area, into Orange County, up to Santa Barbara. Presently LA Jazz Scene is a website and still provides all the same coverage as when it was a print outlet.

There were a lot of jazz clubs, jazz non-profit organizations and of course large theaters and other venues that featured jazz performers. Over the years the jazz scene expanded, contracted, expanded again and so on.

Today, it’s a niche community, where large scale events like The Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival attracts over 15,000 fans daily during a weekend. There are many other venues that present jazz, over the large geographic area as well.

Free concerts are available all summer long around Southern California, and these events attract huge audiences, of all ages.

Our aim is to present jazz events, profiles, CD reviews, club & concert reviews and an interesting cover subject every month. Our writers put a lot of passion into their work, which makes for a fine array of opinions and insights withing their coverage and sometime may even be an interview with a jazz performer or group.
