“Kuumbwa” (pronounced koo-um-ba,
silent “w”), a Swahili word meaning “act
of spontaneous creation.”
Kuumbwa Jazz is an internationally recognized
nonprofit jazz venue. We are one of the longest
weekly nonprofit jazz presenters on the West
Coast, established in 1975. When we aren’t
presenting our own weekly jazz series, the
venue is available for outside promoters to
bring in acts such as bluegrass, folk, Celtic
and world music. The venue is also available
for special occasions such as receptions, private
parties, and community events.

Café Kuumbwa is open
during all Kuumbwa presented shows and serves
healthy andorganic (if available) fare, meat & vegetarian
