Jazz Society of the Philippines, USA

About Me

JazzPhil-USA is devoted to showcasing the talents of Filipino artists, not only to the many Filipino-American communities throughout the U.S.A., but also to the mainstream American jazz audience. JazzPhil-USA serves as a platform to advance, promote, assist and support Filipino jazz artists, whether locally based or visiting from other parts of the world. With the granting of our Emil Mijares Scholarship in Jazz Education, we work to develop new and aspiring Filipino jazz artists and to foster camaraderie among musicians and fans of every persuasion in a common bond of jazz appreciation. The organization pursues the establishment of local chapters in various cities and states where there is a significant Filipino-American population. JazzPhil-USA’s signature event is the critcially acclaimed Filipino-American Jazz Festival, which, for the past three years, has been held every December in Los Angeles.
