Program Details

Cal State LA's Jazz Studies faculty invites you to not only come and study the jazz tradition, but also, to bring your unique musical, cultural, and ethnic background, whether it be blues-based, Afro-Cuban, R&B, rock, Salsa, hip-hop, Brazilian, funk, "world music" (e.g., African, Asian, or Indian), or of course, any of the many jazz styles such as bebop, hard bop, Bossa Nova, or fusion.

The Jazz Studies program at California State University Los Angeles is an ideal choice for the jazz student not only because of its excellent faculty, strong commitment to student success, and wealth of additional resources; California State University, Los Angeles is itself an excellent urban university centrally located in the heart of vibrant, multicultural Los Angeles.
