Our Mission Statement
  • To unite jazz musicians with listeners and supporters in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.
  • DCjazz.com will provide a top quality website featuring a centralized information base for all jazz musicians and enthusiasts in the area.
  • All musicians hosted by DCjazz will be represented in a professionally designed "Artist Suite", featuring biographical information, discography, schedule, contact information, streaming audio and sales for their CDs.
  • Our on-line musicians directory, The DCjazz "Cyber-Union" has been created for the professional musician. The comprehensive profile created for each musician allows the musician to effectively network and efficiently hire other musicians for gigs. The "Hire A Band" feature will help the general public find the right musician or band for their next occasion.
  • Services for the young and learning musician will be created, including master classes and arrangements by some of the finest professionals in the area.
  • We partner with Jazzconnect.com to offer an annual competition with an attractive prize. This will give area musicians a unique opportunity for exposure of their music, and an incentive to produce and record their music.
  • We will offer a free self-serve link area for related music business, and comprehensive jazz concert and club listings in the area.
  • The site will be advertised across the Internet and in jazz publications, making it a place where jazz fans preparing to visit the Capitol area would be able to find out about events scheduled during their sojourn.
  • The site would represent all of the many genres of jazz including classic, contemporary, Latin and modern.
  • We will create in-house advertising for our artist clients by placing their music on our jukebox and our MP3 pages.
  • We will develop an email list and keep the community informed about upcoming performances and cd releases by our client members.
  • DCjazz.com will be able to offer artists a powerful way to market themselves and their products more efficiently and cost effectively than if they tried to do it on their own.
