Mile High Jazz Band Association

The Mile High Jazz Band Association formed in 2001 as a nonprofit corporation to support the MHJB and its subgroup, the Millennium Bugs (jazz combo), promote live jazz performance in northern Nevada, educate the public about jazz, and enrich the cultural life of the community. Member benefits include mailings, discounts on admissions, and invitations to special events, plus the satisfaction of helping big-band jazz to thrive!

To book the Mile High Jazz Band (big band) or Millennium Bugs (jazz combo), call 775-883-4154.

Take the short hall to your left, take a right at the "T", go down the ramp or stairs to an open commons area, take the curved up-ramp to your left, and head straight down the hallway when you are at the top of the ramp. The band room is the third door on your left and is labeled as room 61 and as "Mr. Jacques."
