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), Millennium Bugs (jazz combo), or David & Friends (other combo) call 775-883-4154.

We thank Comma Coffee for being our primary "home" from April 2001 through 2019.

The building has a 150-foot tower on the side. Go in through the first opening in the fence.
