Created in 2009, the Jacksonville Jazz Society (JJS) is a volunteer, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, membership organization, dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and presentation of various styles of traditional and contemporary jazz music. We support live events, broadcasts, and collaborate with various Jazz and educational organizations.

Through the establishment of our Wayne Barlow Scholarship Award, we offer annual financial scholarships to talented high school seniors and college students pursuing excellence in jazz performance and studies.
