First held in 1962, the Reno Jazz Festival has built up a well-earned reputation as one of the best musical events anywhere. Growing in size and stature over the years, the Reno Jazz Festival ranks as one of the largest and most vibrant of its kind in the U.S., attracting more than 10,000 participants and guests every year. Hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno, the festival welcomes some of the best jazz students, musicians and music teachers in the US to perform at this popular festival, drawing hundreds of school bands (junior high through college) from California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and Washington. A number of concerts, shows and workshops take place during the festival and the event closes on the final day with the weekend 's finale: the Festival Showcase and Awards Ceremony.

The 2009 Reno Jazz Festival promises once again to bring together some of the finest jazz students, musicians and educators in the United States. Thanks, again, to all those who co-sponsor this event, especially Maytan Music Center, Nevada Arts Council, City of Reno, Reno Convention and Visitors Authority, and Extended Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno.
