Welcome
The Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Society is a registered nonprofit organization. It was established in 2006. Listeners as well as musicians are welcome.
The Society meets the third Sunday of each month. Due to our mission to promote Jazz and Blues, we feature a live music performance at each meeting. There is a fee for the meeting and moneys are paid to the band.
The Society promotes talented musicians through our scholarship funds which are: the Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues Society Bob Burns Scholarship and the Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues Society Helen Sachs Helder Vocal Jazz Scholarship.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!
