Jazz at the MACC: Jazz Jam – Fall

We are thrilled to announce the return of our much-anticipated event – the Jazz Jam at the MACC! Once again, we are transforming the venue into a lively New York City Jazz Club, where the magic of music takes center stage.

What happens when we bring together 20 talented musicians from our local area, spanning generations and backgrounds, some of whom have never even crossed paths before? The answer: an evening of pure musical enchantment, full of surprises and captivating performances that are bound to leave you in awe.

Throughout the night, you’ll witness these remarkable musicians form spontaneous collaborations, breathing new life into timeless Jazz standards. The synergy that emerges when these artists unite on stage is truly extraordinary, resulting in an experience that’s as unique as it is unforgettable.

Our commitment to preserving the essence of Jazz, characterized by improvisation, spontaneity, and that unmistakable swing, remains stronger than ever. The Gulf Coast Jazz Collective, a driving force since its establishment in 2021, is dedicated to bringing the very best of live Jazz to Southwest Florida.

Under the guidance of Paul Gavin – a distinguished drummer, educator, composer, and arranger – the Jazz Collective has consistently delivered exceptional performances. Our concerts transcend the boundaries of Jazz, showcasing a diverse range of styles within the genre.

So mark your calendars and invite your fellow music enthusiasts to this exceptional evening of music and camaraderie. Let’s celebrate the art of Jazz and the boundless creativity it brings to life.
