The Open Air Jazz Festival is a concert to bring communities together and celebrate Sacramento’s historical association with jazz. The California Black Chamber of Commerce Foundation (CBCCF) will hold this event to further its community outreach and cultural development strategy.

Jay King, CBCCF’s President and CEO, who also happens to be a Grammy award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, has conceptualized the Jazz Festival based on his decade's long association with leading jazz luminaries and his desire to give Sacramento’s residents something to cheer about after two unprecedented, unpredictable years. With an estimated 5,000 attendees, the event will bring significant economic value to the city and further its reputation as a beacon of diversity and cultural consciousness.
