THE EXCHANGE “JAZZ AROUND TOWN” MUSIC SERIES
The Jazz Exchange’s commitment to expanding the availability of live jazz venues in El Paso is not only a priority for us but also a shared passion within our community. We are dedicated to bolstering local businesses and providing a platform for local artists to contribute to the vibrant cultural tapestry of our city through live jazz performances.

Together, we aim to create an inclusive and inviting atmosphere where everyone can relish the joy of live music. Beginning this October, you can expect weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly live jazz events at these exceptional venues.

And to our talented musicians, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you – you’ll have opportunities to participate in jam sessions at most of our shows during the “Jazz Around Town” music series.
