The CSUB Jazz Coffeehouse Concert Series is devoted to featuring the many talented student-musicians in the CSUB music department.  We present five concerts throughout the academic year and each concert features between four and six student led small  jazz ensembles.  These ensembles perform a variety of tunes from 1940's bebop to 1990's fusion to the avant-garde improvisation of today.  Nothing is off limits and students are encouraged to compose original works to be premeired at these events.

The concert series serves as an important fundraiser for CSUB music students with all proceeds going back into the CSUB Jazz program to purchase sheet music, classic jazz recordings and videos and other materials to help our students progress as musicians.  Additionally, these monies are also used to help fund the various scholarships that CSUB music students receive every year.  Nearly every single student in the CSUB music program is supported by some sort of departmental scholarship.  This tradition is continuing today, in part, because of the CSUB Jazz Coffeehouse Concert Series.

The Jazz Coffeehouse concerts are held at 7:30 PM on various Saturday evenings throughout the academic year.  The events are held in the mulit-purpose room of the CSUB Student Union and are sponsored, in part, by the CSUB Jazz Club.  Ticket prices for the current season are: $10/general admission and $6/students and seniors (60+).
