The Dance Hall’s Jazz Casual is a series dedicated to the preservation of a distinctly American art form. We believe in and support the advancement of jazz and related improvised musics, showcasing artists who write original works and uniquely arrange traditional music in progressive and imaginative ways. Across the season you can expect an exciting lineup of local and national talent, which we believe is imperative to the health, and continued growth of an art form that has long been a pillar of this community’s live music ecosystem. Jazz Casual carries the torch.

Stay tuned for the 2026 Jazz Casual Series announcement!
