Jazzmobile is the country’s first charitable organization created with the mission to present, preserve, promote, and propagate America’s classical music: jazz. Jazzmobile’s free annual concert series, Summerfest, travels through the five boroughs and is New York City’s longest-running jazz festival. Founded by National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Dr. Billy Taylor, the organization has presented greats and legends such as Wynton Marsalis, Monty Alexander, Dianne Reeves, and hundreds of other artists. Its pioneering music education programs—including Saturday Jazz Workshop, Master Classes, and Lecture Demonstrations—have been emulated by local and national organizations.
