Welcome to Jazz Maui
SAVE THE MUSICIANS
Jazz Maui is supporting local musicians. You can, too, when you click on this Donate button.
Your contributions support Maui musicians who have lost their livelihood and just about everything else due to the recent fires. By organizing events at various venues around the island, Jazz Maui is creating paying jobs for these out-of-work musicians. Your donations also support Jazz Maui and these performers in providing music as therapy for traumatized residents, many of whom are sheltered in temporary housing.
All funds raised directly support local musicians.
Mahalo.

The dynamic versatility of Colorado's Sheryl Renee comes from a literal lifetime in and around the entertainment business. An audience favorite, Sheryl moves effortlessly between music genres, artistic avenues, and her entrepreneurial pursuits. Her voice can be heard on hundreds of recordings and commercials. She gets great joy from nurturing and introducing extraordinary talent.
Tom received his first harmonica at the age of 15 in San Francisco as a Christmas gift.
Paul January got his first paying gig when he was 11 years old, playing piano for a children’s fashion show in Denver, Colorado. By 1972 he was attending music school, teaching piano and trumpet, and working every weekend, and when his former piano teacher said, “Let’s move to Vegas and play in the orchestras!” he was all in. By 1974 he realized that he couldn’t take the heat (literally as well as figuratively) and found a much more temperate climate and much nicer people in the Reno area, with still plenty of work in the field of music. He spent the next 46 years playing in various spots around Reno and Tahoe, as a single performer playing jazz, standards, and pop, or with groups as large as 17 playing everything from funk to big band jazz. He has had the privilege of working with some of the biggest names ever to grace the stages of Reno and Las Vegas, and has made many friends along the way. But when a global pandemic (we’re looking at you, COVID!) closes down your gig, what to do? The only logical answer is “Retire and move to Hawaii.”
