Our History
The Perth Jazz Society is a non-profit incorporated association. Founded in 1973, the PJS strives to support local jazz musicians, enhance the artform, facilitate live performances and encourage the creation and documentation of original music. It has had a long and distinguished history in presenting jazz of the highest quality in Perth, and supporting emerging, established and visiting artists.
In September 2018 the Perth Jazz Society celebrated its 45th Anniversary, making it the oldest modern jazz society in Australia. It remains the focal point for original jazz in Western Australia.
