About Origins

Origins Jazz Series was founded in 2017 with the goal of lifting up Lexington’s jazz scene, inspired by Lexington’s ancestral jazz series Spotlight. Since we started, we have presented almost 100 shows of international, national, regional, and local artists in over ten venues across Lexington.

 

Origins Members keep the spirit alive by supporting us monthly.
