Welcome to the JVC Jazz Festival

From Newport to Paris, from Rotterdam to New York City, from expansive outdoor venues to intimate live clubs, JVC has proudly brought the diversity and energy of jazz to millions of fans worldwide for 25 years.

We have a simple yet important reason for our long-term commitment to jazz. As a company that makes products that allow people to enjoy recorded entertainment at home, we believe it is equally important to support live entertainment. It offers JVC a way to both support its customers and honor the artists. What’s more, JVC and jazz share a devotion to innovation. We’re all thrilled by musicians who dig deep to redefine music and deliver a whole new experience, while at JVC our mission is to deliver thrilling experiences through the use of breakthrough technologies.

On behalf of everyone at JVC, we hope you’ll join us for another year of JVC Jazz.
