The live experience
What reaches the room
Floridian Smooth Jazz is a prominent Florida-based artist collective and conduit for contemporary smooth jazz, founded in 2005 by Cathy Powers as The Florida Smooth Jazz Foundation. This nonprofit operates under 501(c)(3) status, focusing on charitable initiatives and music education scholarships that empower aspiring musicians and support community programs. The project broadened into the renowned Florida Smooth Jazz Weekend, which began in 2015 and quickly became a fan favorite, frequently selling out citywide venues.
