Washington DC Jazz Music Calendar

DC Jazz Calendar

CapitalBop’s D.C. Jazz Calendar, curated by editor-at-large Jackson Sinnenberg, is a free service provided to our city to help connect audiences with live music from every part of the jazz scene. We work to make sure every live show within the beltway is listed. Advance calendar listings for each month are completed roughly a week before that month begins.

Are we missing a listing? Please use this form to submit it.

A version of this calendar appears in audio form each day on WPFW 89.3 FM. CapitalBop is proud to deliver this service in partnership with D.C.’s “jazz and justice” radio station, part of the Pacifica radio network.

CapitalBop,Inc, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting, presenting and preserving jazz in Washington, D.C. Founded in 2010 and run by young cultural organizers and musicians, CapitalBop grows audiences and builds community around jazz because we believe it is important to the city’s historic identity as well as its contemporary culture. CapitalBop.com is an online magazine and resource designed to help everyone from newcomers to diehards connect with the city’s thriving live jazz scene and musicians. We present grassroots shows that unite diverse audiences while showcasing jazz in nontraditional, outside-the-box scenarios. Our emerging education program seeks to connect D.C.’s great teaching artists with children across the city, helping them access their own creativity by tapping them into the rich cultural legacy of their hometown.
