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 appriciation 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.
