Yamaha thrilled to be at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival with Coastal Jazz and Blues Society

June 24th - July 3rd | Vancouver International Jazz Festival

The TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival and all our other activities are held in the beautiful city of Vancouver. Framed by mountains and the ocean, this idyllic location is the perfect place to get your fix of music, art, culture, culinary delights, and great outdoor adventures and sports.

The story of Coastal Jazz and Blues Society is the story of determination, passion, idealism, community, and of course, music. Founded in 1985 and incorporated in 1986, as a community based, not-for-profit, charitable arts organization located in Vancouver, British Columbia, the society, from the very beginning, has worked diligently to establish Vancouver as a centre for the creation and exchange of sounds and ideas between the local, national and international music communities.

Our mission is to not only increase the appreciation of the music, but to strengthen the arts community by developing special projects, artistic exchanges, partnerships, educational initiatives, community programs, and collaborations that further the art form. Our vision encompasses a wide spectrum of jazz, blues, world, creative, and improvised music, including evolving forms of jazz and the technologies and media that influence jazz as an art form
