The Kingston Jazz Society (KJS) is a non-profit charitable association of jazz lovers dedicated to the five Ps of this distinctly North-American art form: preservation, production, performance, promotion and perpetuation. Our mandate is to present live professional jazz performances, with an emphasis on young and emerging Canadian jazz musicians, to the Kingston community at large and to help educate audiences about jazz music. It is also our goal to help to foster jazz as a key part of the local music scene.
