What is Open Stage?

Open Stage at Jazzmania is a live, collaborative jazz experience where the house band opens the floor to guest performers throughout the evening. Vocalists, instrumentalists, spoken word artists, and emerging performers are invited to join seasoned musicians on stage to perform jazz standards, originals, and spontaneous collaborations in a welcoming, supportive atmosphere. Every Open Stage performance is unique — built in the moment through creativity, improvisation, and community.
