Supporting Jazz And Music Education
HELLO FAMILY
We hope that all is well with you in these unprecedented times. It is with deep regret that the 8th Annual Jazz Legacy Foundation Gala Weekend will be postponed until November 10-14 2021. In facing the COVID-19 Pandemic we are all challenged with uncertainty; however...
YOU COME FIRST
Like most of you this decision to postpone is heartbreaking for us, but it is a necessary decision. The health and safety of our dedicated fans, supporters, volunteers, sponsors, production crew, vendors, artists, venues, students and music educators is our 1st priority. The love, camaraderie and the great memories we share during our festival does not allow for social distancing. We are thankful that we work with amazing Artists, leading venues, and the most hospitable hotels; all of which have agreed to endorse our need to postpone and honor our deposits and reservations for November 2021. They are also excited to provide the same first class production and service that you have grown accustomed to and expect during your time at Jazz Legacy Foundation Gala Weekend.
YOUR TICKETS ARE SECURE
Your tickets will be secure for comparable days and dates for 2021. Same great All-Star Lineup. Same day of the week. Same times. Same spectacular experience!

Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding during these difficult times! We look forward to seeing you in 2021!
In Closing:
We sincerely appreciate your support of the Jazz Legacy Foundation regardless of your decision. Over the years we have built and will continue to build an awesome family of attendees and supporters affecting the lives of the next generation of jazz. Please continue to support artists, live jazz and music education when and wherever possible; as we all make the gradual transition of getting back to the level of music activity that we miss so much. We have appreciated all the love, concern and encouragement during these trying times. We will certainly miss seeing you all in November and the great memories that would have been created. But like family we will reunite in 2021 growing stronger, more resilient and more appreciative of the times we share and the lives we touch by being associated with all of you and this wonderful music of Jazz.
“Jazz is not just music, it’s a way of life, it’s a way of being, a way of thinking.”
