What is A Place for Jazz?

A Place for Jazz isn't really a place, it's a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to presenting the best in Jazz. Programs include concerts, public workshops, school-based clinics, a Jazz website and general support of Jazz and its musicians. Our concerts are held in the Whisperdome, the beautiful listening-space in the First Unitarian Society at 1221 Wendell Ave in Schenectady. (Click here for directions.)

We receive most of our funding from our ticket sales and membership contributions; a portion comes from a grant from the Schenectady County Improvement Program. We are affiliated with the International Association of Jazz Educators.

We welcome your participation and membership. For further information about APFJ, email Tim Coakley (our leader), call him at 518-393-4011  or write to PO Box 1059, Schenectady 12301.
