The Alternajazz Festival returns, this time with a permanent residence at The Mint in Los Angeles!

One Thursday a month we will present the most awesome, inspiring, progressive jazz-based artists we can find.

Previous festivals have included performances by Otmaro Ruiz, Billy Childs, The Thelonius Monk Institute, Katisse, Brad Dutz, Steve Batrek, Katia Moraes, the Industrial Jazz Group...and many more. Alternajazz is about bringing the far corners of the jazz community together to reach out across all demographics. We look for cutting edge, inspirational, soulful, experimental, crossover, and cross-cultural acts. Most of all, we look for musicians who really touch people, through all the complications and chord changes. Artists who are saying something.

The first two shows are October 30th and November 20th. Artists will be announced shortly.
