Greetings and welcome to the
50th annual Reno Jazz Festival! 

Since its first year in 1962, the festival has endeavored to bring to Reno both talented students and renowned professional artists. I am pleased to say we have been — and remain — successful at doing just that. The festival has consistently attracted some of the best school bands in the nation, in part because they enjoy the festival’s competition and also because they know they will get to see great artists in concert and in workshops.

We are working on some special projects for our 50th anniversary and could use your help.

If you attended or participated in the festival in any way during the past 50 years, we would love to hear from you. We are putting together a collection of memorabilia of the festival and are hoping to collect historic photos, recordings and any memories you would like to share. We want to capture how the Reno Jazz Festival has affected so many musicians and fans, young and old, over these many years. If you have something to share, please contact CJ Walters at cjc@unr.edu or call her at (775) 784-4278.
