What makes this party stand out?
What makes the OCJP special, first and foremost, is the excellent talent assembled. Also, a superb location at the Oregon Coast – on the beautiful shores of Nye Beach in the “Dungeness Crab Capital of the World®.” Additionally, an incredible, state-of-the-art venue (Newport Performing Arts Center) featuring an unparalleled Meyer Constellation sound system. OCJP draws fans from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. But it also enjoys the support of a loyal local fan base, regional businesses, and a dedicated team of volunteers. The result is a Jazz event like no other – pairing extreme professional talent and tech with a friendly, casual environment. Here, the focus is on the music. It all adds up to a party you don’t want to miss.
