The 2025 Jazz Educators Network (JEN) Conference is just around the corner, taking place January 8–11 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta, GA. This incredible event brings together jazz enthusiasts and educators from around the world for four days of music, education, and inspiration. If you’re planning to attend the JEN Conference, stop by Booth 806 to meet our team members, Glenn Quirion and Robin Teague, and discover how we elevate jazz ensembles with custom performance tours. Let us take your group to iconic locations like Montreux, Tokyo, and Paris, where performances at renowned venues and cultural exchanges with local jazz artists create unforgettable memories. We’re also proud to sponsor the JEN Founders Toast and Reception on Friday, January 10 at 4:30 PM in the International Ballroom North. This provides another great opportunity to connect, network, and learn more about how we can support your ensemble’s travel dreams. Be sure to look for details about the event during the conference! For years, we’ve worked with jazz ensembles of all shapes and sizes—high school and college groups, community big bands, and professional combos—to design custom performance tours that leave a lasting impact. Our team combines deep expertise in both travel and music to ensure every detail is in harmony with your ensemble’s needs, from choosing iconic jazz venues to organizing enriching cultural activities. Our tours are as diverse as the ensembles we work with. Whether it’s performing at a jazz festival in Europe, connecting with local musicians in South America, or experiencing the birthplace of jazz in New Orleans, we create meaningful opportunities for your group to share their passion with audiences around the world. Stop by to discuss your ensemble’s aspirations, learn about jazz-focused travel opportunities, and enter our raffle for the chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
