a modern Jazz
event of vibrant

Manifesto

Jazz is our heart and colour is our spirit. Creativity connects us to our hearts and makes us feel alive.

We are unapologetic lovers of jazz and want to bring it to the masses. We believe in the power of shared experiences and the pleasure of enjoying live music together.

We value self-expression and celebrate diversity. We are inclusive by nature, yet exclusive in style. We are anything but ordinary.

We are Hot Jazz.

Purpose

I believe creative experiences changes lives.

I am not a jazz aficionado. But I am a jazz lover and a lover of live music. 

This event was dreamed up in the second covid lockdown. A time that felt very black and white. Lacking joyful and inspired experiences and connection with friends.

And so Hot Jazz was born. An event to inspire connection, champion the incredible musical talent we have here in NSW and pairing jazz with our favourite things.

A particular jazz song I love, gentle and soft, is so sublime that every time I hear it played I close my eyes and my soul whispers, “this is music that you fall in love to”.

Imagine that. A piece of music so sublime that it makes you feel like you are falling in love. Magic.

I have thought deeply about how I can positively impact the landscape of the human experience.

My purpose is to be a significant and influential contributor in bringing art, music and creativity to the lives of many.

— Caroline Kemp, Founder of Hot Jazz
