“This thoughtful series presents jazz with the seriousness and dignity becoming the art form.”
“One of the west coast’s more discerning jazz concert series…”
“The intimate and acoustically pristine Athenaeum Library was packed with fans primed for the event.”

“What is even more impressive than the many stellar musicians who have appeared there is that the Jazz at the Athenaeum series has endured—and thrived—for three decades. Moreover, its jazz programming has been guided the entire time by a single curator, Daniel Atkinson, whose longevity equals that of the series.”
