Jazz Power Initiative is a New York-based nonprofit in the performing arts that anchors jazz within African American culture and American history. Founded in 2003 by jazz musician Eli Yamin and educator Clifford Carlson, the organization pursues both performance and education as its core activities. It offers free and low-cost programs for youth ages 6-18, alongside training for educators and artists, and it hosts intergenerational concerts that bring communities together through jazz, dance, and theatre. Through these efforts, JPI serves thousands of participants annually in Upper Manhattan and beyond, aiming to elevate historically marginalized voices and foster inclusive, creative communities. Based in New York City, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on jazz-related education and performance. In 2026, Jazz Power Initiative participated in the Syncopated Celebration at Symphony Space and pursued collaborations with partners such as Anyone Can Book a Gig and Music Works International to broaden educational offerings and artist development.
