The Sandhills Jazz Society was founded out of determination, passion, community need and of course, the love of music. We were incorporated in 2018 as a community-based, nonprofit artist/educational organization located in Fayetteville, NC. From the onset, the society has worked diligently to help establish Fayetteville as a center for the creation and exchange of sounds between local, national, a
nd international music communities. We are a 501c3 whose mission is to promote interest in jazz music across multiple generations, to actively engage a new generation in the efforts of the Society, and to have fun producing a financially viable annual All-American City Jazz Festival. We want to not only increase the appreciation of the music, but to strengthen the arts community by developing special projects, artistic exchanges, partnerships, educational workshops, community programs, and collaborations that further the art form. Our vision encompasses a wide spectrum of jazz, blues, world, creative, and improvised music, including evolving forms of jazz and the technologies and media that influence jazz as an art form.
