NJW Programs

Jazz Cave Performances

Weekend performances are held in the Jazz Cave, a listening room with world class acoustics that's consistently placed on DownBeat Magazine's list of great jazz venues in the world. Performances are by Nashville's top jazz artists, along with nationally and internationally acclaimed visiting artists. See below for information about ticket purchase and seating

Student Performances

Performance before an audience is an important part of Jazz education. Many ensembles and vocal classes perform in the Jazz Cave at the end of either 6 or 12 weeks of class. Come out to support these hardworking students and enjoy some great jazz!

Short sets including vocalists and ensembles typically begin at 6pm or 8pm and last 1-2 hours. All events are BYOB, BYOF

As a nonprofit organization, the NJW seeks ways to elevate jazz in the community and bring jazz to more people. We do this through special outreach events. These include the popular JAZZ ON THE MOVE series, performances at community venues and neighborhood festivals, and special programs for youth.

Audio and Video

NJW makes archival audio and video recordings of performances in the Jazz Cave. Video clips of performance highlights are posted on the Jazz Workshop's YouTube Channel (youtube.com/nashvillejazz). Audio clips can be found on Soundcloud (soundcloud.com/nashvillejazz).

For students with financial need, the Jazz Workshop offers scholarship assistance through the support of generous donors and foundations. Work-study programs and payment plans are also available. Several memorial scholarship funds have been established, including the Charles Dungey Scholarship for bassists and vocalists, and the Farrell Morris Scholarship for drummers and percussionists. Scholarships for youth are available through the Stephen McRedmond Young Artist Program Fund and the Scholarship Lessons program. Special scholarships for Summer Jazz Camp students are awarded through the Billy Strayhorn Foundation and Van Heusen Music.

Information About Events

Tickets & Seating

Tickets for performances are sold through Eventbrite. Seating is reserved, and consists of cafe tables in the main area and bistro tables with barstools along the side and in the back. The Jazz Cave is wheelchair accessible. Management reserves the right to re-seat patrons who arrive after the start of the performance, or if unforeseen circumstances force a change in seating arrangements. Ticket sales are final.

Jazz Cave Policies

The Jazz Cave is a non-smoking room. It's also a listening room, and we ask that audience members keep noise and extraneous conversation to a minimum during a performance. This allows audiences to hear all the nuances of an artist's performance and inspires artists to give better performances! Cell phones must be turned off. No flash photography or recording is permitted.

Food and Beverages

We don't serve food or alcohol. Patrons can bring their own drinks and snacks. We do sell soft drinks, coffee, and bottled water.
