Jazz Aspen Snowmass

Founded in 1991, Jazz Aspen Snowmass stands as the permanent home for jazz and related music forms in Aspen. We present acclaimed performances through our signature JAS Café summer season, which runs from July 3 to September 18. The café showcases artists across jazz, blues, soul, gospel, New Orleans, and world music, featuring a delectable menu from Epicure and hand-selected drinks. Our intimate venue hosts these spectacular three-day events, including the upcoming 2026 Labor Day Experience with headliners like Benson Boone and Bonnie Raitt. Beyond the stage, we are deeply committed to inspiring the next generation of musicians. Since 1993, our education initiatives have donated over $11 million to music programs in the Roaring Fork Valley. We offer scholarships, workshops, and in-school programs that reach students of all ages. Every Tuesday, we open our doors for free JAS Community Nights at the Paul JAS Center. Locals join us for open mic nights, local showcases, salsa nights, trivia, and silent discos. As we enter phase three of our capital campaign, we continue to expand instrumental programming while preserving the rich sound and soul that defines our town.
