For 38 years, this Party has brought together some of the finest jazz musicians in the world, and we’re thrilled to
continue that tradition with this year’s outstanding lineup. We’re delighted to welcome back many familiar faces, introduce exciting new artists, and celebrate our 2026 Jazz Legend, Jon-Erik Kellso. Thank you to our donors and musician sponsors — your generosity makes this weekend possible. Our sponsorship program continues to be one of the most meaningful ways to support the Party and connect with the artists who bring this music to life. We are also grateful to Dan Barrett for his guidance, humor, and steady hand in shaping the music you’ll hear throughout the weekend. And we remain committed to our educational mission through master classes, in school clinics, and scholarships supported by the Dan Reid Fund and our dedicated patrons. Thank you for being part of the San Diego Jazz Party. Enjoy the music!
