Supporting Jazz Education on the Peninsula
since 1993
Home Page
The Palo Alto Jazz Alliance (PAJA) is a non-profit group of local music enthusiasts, who enjoy jazz and are interested in promoting jazz education. Since 1993, It has been our goal to help educate the Bay Area community by creating an understanding and appreciation of jazz past and present, with the aid of live performances and other PAJA hosted events. PAJA contributes to the life of jazz not only by bringing live music to the area, but also by supporting music programs for local school by playing an active part in the future of the music.
You will experience a sure-fire super jazz treat when the dynamic Montclair Women's Big Band appears on stage for the Palo Alto Jazz Alliance on Sunday, November 16, 2008. Assembled 10 years ago by ace trumpeter Ellen Seeling and producer Barbara Price, the group has headlined sold-out events for the Kennedy Center, The GRAMMY Foundation, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, KCSM-FM Radio and the San Jose Jazz Festival.
Produced and hosted by Menlo Park's, Dr. Herb Wong is a legend in jazz circles. The music lover has been friends with some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. When many might retire, this hep octogenarian is still going strong as a powerful force in the music industry.
