WELCOME TO THE MILWAUKEE JAZZ INSTITUTE
Milwaukee Jazz Institute, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, promotes jazz through education and performance, building awareness of this art form's ability to transform lives and strengthen our community. MJI seeks to expand and diversify the local jazz audience and create opportunities for professional and aspiring musicians. It’s a big task, and we appreciate your generosity!

Thanks to your nominations, Milwaukee Jazz Institute is officially a finalist in TWO categories for the Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee 2026 awards.
-
Music Education under Arts and Entertainment
-
Jazz Combo under Milwaukee Music
These are two categories that mean a lot to us. Because teaching jazz and playing jazz go hand in hand. What happens in the classroom carries onto the stage, and what happens on the stage inspires the next generation of musicians.
Now that we're on the ballot, we'd love your vote! Thanks for showing up for MJI and Milwaukee jazz. We couldn't do this without you.
