CHEERS TO 8 SWINGIN’ YEARS

 

To our friends and followers,


It is with heavy hearts that we announce that the Catskill Jazz Factory is ceasing its operations after eight extraordinary years. 

As we reach the anniversary of our founding artist residency of 2012, we can't help but take a moment to look back at our fondest memories and achievements. It has been a transformative road filled with concerts small and large, audiences near and far, and phenomenal talent across the board. From humble Catskills beginnings on Main Street in Tannersville to headlining world premiere performances at venues like the New York Botanical Gardens and the Palazzo Corsini in Florence, Italy, it has been an honor and a privilege to grace these stages!

23Arts Initiative, our sister non-profit based in our hometown of Tannersville, has cancelled its 23Arts Summer Music Festival for 2020 and is taking an indefinite hiatus due to COVID-19.  We would like to take a special moment to send sincere thanks to our donors for making everything possible and enabling our work. 

To all of our co-presenters, venue partners, sponsors, followers, volunteers, community members, and audiences, thank you for being with us along the way. 

To our artists, thank you for being an inspiration not only to our audiences but to all of us behind the scenes. 

Our journey over the past eight years has been life-changing and we will always remember the experiences that we have shared. We hope that your memories with us serve the same. Check out the new ARCHIVE section on our website as we continue to upload photo, video and other content dating all the way back to our founding in 2012 to today! 

Yours,
Catskill Jazz Factory

The pastoral work of making sustainable jazz

[…] Catskill Jazz Factory, as you will learn below, can be accurately described as an organization with global ambition. But the grassroots, pastoral work of manufacturing jazz talent and an audience for it (for it is a “factory”) takes place at venues of all kinds right here in the Catskills and mid-Hudson: a sustainable jazz pilot study in an unlikely location. From our high theaters, colleges and clubs to any old ad hoc nook that will have it, there is nary a community center, library or church that they haven’t pressed into service as a temporary Blue Note at one time or another.

Bard’s Spiegeltent to host Catskill Jazz Factory’s “Singers & Songbooks” series

[…] All of which is to say that Bard College’s long-running, fruitful collaboration with the Catskill Jazz Factory (CJF) is the natural culmination of a cultural recognition many decades in the making. Jazz is high. Kneel to it.
