New Mexico Jazz Workshop

About New Mexico Jazz Workshop

The New Mexico Jazz Workshop (NMJW) was established on February 12, 1976, by a passionate group of jazz musicians dedicated to creating a platform for jazz performance and education. Initially a co-operative, NMJW has evolved over the decades, bringing renowned international jazz artists to the KiMo Theatre and expanding its reach to Albuquerque in 1979. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, NMJW enriched the local music scene with events like the Summer Music Festival and the Women’s Voices festival, showcasing local talent and fostering a love for jazz.
