The Jazz Exchange Building Communities Through Music
www.thejazzexchange.org The Jazz Exchange has gained a reputation in the U.S.

The Jazz Exchange is a minority-led organization that curates creative programming, offering audiences to discover new venues, meet new people, experience new artists, and mentor future generations of young artists. Born out of a collaboration of mutual admiration, vision, and respect for the arts and education the duo Candice Reyes and Abel Mireles lead The Jazz Exchange. The couple not only has

a shared musical experience as professional musicians but shares the vision and belief of the importance of building communities through music and being a part of something larger than yourself. and Internationally as an organization that has been preeminent in supporting underserved artists and local businesses in their communities and fostering the importance of mentorship through music education. What started as a vision quickly spread into a local and then a global community to come together in unique
and welcoming spaces - with an added element of surprise - to discover new venues, meet new people, and experience new artists. We collaborate with artists, businesses, freelancers which has been proven to inspire personal development, create opportunities, prepare our future citizens, and build communities locally and globally.
