• Name: Women in Jazz Association

Women in Jazz Association, Inc. was founded by Pamela and Kevin Hart to provide Women in Jazz Concert Series and Vocal Performance Workshops for performance opportunities and experiences of professional and amateur jazz vocalists in the Austin metropolitan area. Women in Jazz Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.  The Board of Directors currently consists of Pamela Hart, Kevin C. Hart, Tommy Johnson, Anitra Jones, Dwayne Jones, Charelesa Russell, and Jabari Warfield.

Austin, Texas, “the live music capital of the world,” can boast of very little live music that includes jazz vocals. Since the venues in Austin that consistently provide jazz music book vocalists much less than other musicians, jazz vocalists create their own entertainment venues in Austin.  Women in Jazz Concert Series is the outgrowth of the need for a performance venue for women jazz vocalists.
