Welcome to the Jazz Society of Oregon's Hall of Fame! The Jazz Society of Oregon honors an outstanding local musician each year at the annual First Jazz concert presented in February. These musicians have earned a reputation for excellence in jazz performance in Oregon and beyond. In addition to jazz performance, each has also contributed to furthering jazz education, and been a strong advocate for America's original art form. JSO contributes $1,000 to the Education Endowment Fund in the name of the honoree, and scholarships are awareded to young musicians in that artist's name, customarily on the same instrument.
