IASJ
International Association of Schools of Jazz
the worldwide network of high quality schools of jazz
David Liebman - Artistic Director
Establishing the IASJ is by far the most important work I have done in my life as a professional musician. It surpasses my own career and experiences, which although have made me what I am, pale in comparison to the positive and far reaching work that the organization has accomplished and continues doing. I feel like I have made a real contribution to the world and will continue my work in this way as long as possible.
Walter Turkenburg - Executive Director

The future of jazz is connected to the future of jazz education and the IASJ is the link.
