| Stanford Jazz Workshop Each summer Stanford Jazz Workshop has created a lively and supportive community of jazz artists, educators, students, and enthusiasts on the campus of Stanford University. SJW's programs provide an exceptional immersion in jazz, fostering a deeper appreciation of this great improvisational music genre, hailed by many as "the definitive American art form."
