Join us at Dazzle Denver for an unforgettable evening of live jazz in support of Pathways To Jazz, an organization dedicated to launching and elevating jazz artists’ careers and to powering music education for Colorado youth.

This special benefit concert brings together emerging talent and world-class mastery featuring a standout student performer from the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts (CCJA) alongside the incomparable Brad Goode, hailed by the Chicago Tribune as “the lyrical genius of the trumpet.”

Why This Concert Matters:

Pathways To Jazz, launched by the Cielo Foundation, invests where it counts:

Recording Grants for Jazz Artists — Professional recordings that help musicians launch and sustain real careers. Since 2014, the program has awarded grants to 131 artists, now expanding internationally to support musicians in Italy. Average grant awards are $3,000-$5000 dollars per artist.

Music Education for Youth — Year-long, public-school programs in under-resourced communities, instruments, mentorship, private lessons, and music camps for students. $5,000 funds a full year of music education for one public school.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 in 2026, for these initiatives. Donations are tax deductible and are made through the Boulder County Arts Alliance website, our fiscal sponsor.

Enjoy a great night of music, food and drink while investing in artists and music education across Colorado.
