Jazzoula

Jazzoula Missoula's own home-grown multi-day Jazz Festival, brought to you by Rockin' Rudy's. Jazzoula also presents special performances throughout the year!

Check back here for frequent updates. Jazzoula originated as the brainchild of Bruce Micklus (Rockin Rudy's owner), the Missoula Blues and Jazz Society, along with the UM Jazz Program. It started in the basement of the Wilma, and has grown ever since and helped to nurture and applaud Missoula's flourishing jazz scene. Jazzoula's current home is The Show Room at the ZACC, and in that space produces

an annual spring festival and special events throughout the year. For general information about announced events, contact the ZACC at (406)549-7555. If you're a musician, please contact Bruce Micklus via Rockin Rudy's at 406-542-0077, or email [email protected].
