It is just such a democratic unit, a jazz unit, if it is done right. Each one has a voice. There is a central theme and you make a whole. It is such a sharing thing. It is such a community. Can you imagine if the whole world was run on these principles? It is a dangerous philosophy in a way. - Sathima Bea Benjamin

    Dreyfuss Auditorium offers unobstructed views of the stage, yet still keeps you close to the music and the musicians.

    In the Ferguson Recreation Center, you enjoy the intimacy of a small, casual room where you and the artists share conversation and great music. There are also tents for plenty of food and beverages, a huge collection of CDs to browse and an opportunity to meet some of our sponsors.
