Willamette Jazz Society

Launched in 2005, the Jazz Station is an all-ages community performance space and art gallery located at 124 W. Broadway. Supported by memberships, contributions and event revenues, the venue offers concerts, visual art and affordable rehearsal space for musicians, artists and fans. The Jazz Station is a project of the Willamette Jazz Society, a 501c3 non-profit organization whose mission is to advance the art of jazz. The involvement of youth in concerts, jams and audiences is a key strategy. An eight-member volunteer board governs the organization. Bassist Chris Orsinger is currently Board President. After operating from 2005 to 2010 in a small 700 sq. foot space, the Jazz Station leased and renovated a 2500 sq. foot space at 124 W. Broadway in Eugene, which opens April 1, 2011.
