Jazz In June, Norman, OK

Jazz In June, Norman, OK Through the transformative power of jazz, we aim to inspire, unite, and uplift. Monk III, Miss Brown to You, Larry Coryell, D.C.

Our nonprofit organization produces an inclusive, family-friendly festival, offering free access to world-class talent, educational workshops, and vibrant vendor offerings. Jazz in June was founded by the Norman Arts and Humanities Council and the Cimarron Circuit Opera Company in 1984 to bring high-quality blues and jazz acts to Norman. Because the partnership was ineligible to receive grants, in 1990 a separate non-profit organization, Jazz in June, Inc., was formally created with the Norman Arts Council, Cimarron Circuit Opera Company and KGOU as partners and other members at large. In the nearly three decades since, the festival has developed into a highly anticipated annual event attended by an estimated 50,000 people. The three-evening Jazz in June series today comprises “Blues Under the Stars” in Brookhaven Village on Thursday, “Jazz Under the Stars” in Brookhaven Village on Friday and “Jazz in the Park” at Andrews Park on Saturday. Among the artists to have graced the Jazz in June stage over the years are Beatrice Cole, Chuck Mangione, Oklahoma Panhandlers, T.S. Minner and Selby, The Airmen of Note, Larry Hammett Quartet, Edgar Cruz, Poncho Sanchez, the Ellis Marsalis Quintet and Pinkie & the Snakeshakers. For a complete list, visit http://jazzinjune.org.

After 42+ years, Jazz in June’s Executive Director, Norman Hammon, is stepping down at the end of this year.

Nearly four decades ago, Norman stepped in as a grant writer to help organize a small jazz festival for our community. Through the collaborative efforts of dedicated volunteers, the Friends of Jazz in June, and countless supporters, the festival blossomed into what we know today as Jazz in June. Norman’s leadership and commitment were instrumental in this journey.

Beyond Jazz in June, Norman has given 45+ years to the arts in our community as an author, columnist, educator, former City Councilmember, and tireless advocate for the arts we all love.

Thank you, Norman, for everything you've given to Jazz in June and to Norman's arts community. Your legacy will play on.

Champian, # 3 on the list, was a Jazz in June headliner in 2025. She was born and raised in Norman before heading to New York and stages around the world. Her late Father was Stephen Fulton, a tremendous Jazz musician in his own right and one of the founders of Jazz in June.

One of our own Folks!

Thank you Downbeat Magazine for having me on the ballot for the critics poll this year and thanks to the critics for placing me so high on the list!

It’s a blessing to be 25 years into a career in Jazz and still be ON THE RISE 💫

Can’t wait for next summer when we release my Nonet album, honestly one of the best records I’ve made so far

You won't believe how much fun the volunteers and board members have working Jazz in June. It can be long days of setup, driving artists, merch sales, and teardown. But it is worth every second for the friendships, getting to meet (and even drive) AMAZING famous musicians, and the TACO BELL. If you are interested in helping next year, reach out!
