AJMI

Jazz scene and label in Avignon.
The best way to hear jazz is to see it!

AJMi, Association pour le Jazz et la Musique Improvisée, is a 30-year-old association based in Avignon, whose aim is to defend and promote jazz music, through production and distribution activities. Internationally acclaimed, it hosts concerts in its own hall by the best musicians on today's jazz scene, both established and up-and-coming.

Certified as an SMAC, the AJMi offers weekly concerts all year round, from October to June. Since 1978, AJMi has welcomed over 1500 musicians, including Michel Petrucciani, Louis Sclavis, Claude Barthélémy, René Bottlang, David S. Ware, Nathalie Loriers, Claude Tchamitchian, Rémi Charmasson, Chris Potter, Jean-Pierre Jullian, Scott Colley, David Linx, Sheila Jordan, Bernard Santacruz, Marc Ducret, Mina Agossi, Bruno Chevillon...
Every year, the AJMi registers an average of 100 spectators per concert; an encouraging and promising figure for a venue so specialized in such programming!

In this way, the association fervently defends the image of contemporary, creative, dynamic and constantly evolving jazz. With this in mind, it sets out to conquer new audiences, opening up to other concert halls, various cultural venues, schools, young-audience programs, but also to the corporate world...

At AJMi, everything is designed to ensure a warm and friendly welcome for the public, with respect for the music itself.

So dare to jazz!
