Pathways to Jazz Benefit Concert

Pathways To Jazz began in 2014 when founder Alan Cogen, with the support of Program Manager Sarah Goodroad and the Boulder County Arts Alliance, created a grant program to provide funding for exceptional jazz musicians who wanted to produce professional recordings. Originally for Colorado artists only, the program’s success led to a nationwide expansion in 2019. Then, in its 10th year of funding and with the help of the organization Music For Love, Pathways To Jazz expanded into Italy. A high-quality recording is not only a way to document and preserve jazz but also an essential tool for artists to book gigs, reach new audiences, and grow their careers. Since its inception, Pathways To Jazz has awarded grants to 116 artists, recognizing the immense value of recorded music in shaping artistic journeys.
