“Jazz is about being in the moment”- Herbie Hancock.
Here at St. James’ Episcopal Church, we celebrate the music of freedom and life. Every year we come together to share in the moment and to immerse ourselves in its embrace and history. Join us for the 31th Annual concerts and the Jazz Mass on November 7-9, 2025. This year’s festival will feature the world-class saxophonist, Diego Rivera, alongside up-and-coming artists from the Austin jazz community.
Jazz at St. James’ is always an exceptional musical and community event. This year, I’m particularly excited to hear saxophonist Diego Rivera and some of the best jazz musicians Austin has to offer.

“Jazz is a generational thing. My grandfather, my father, my mother, my sisters and I love jazz, and my six year old niece loves what she calls fancy music!” – Rodney Wormley
