The Austin Jazz Alliance has announced the first ever Texas Jazz Jam Cruise. Jazz Alliance members have been working for the past 6 months on putting together the final touches on the program, activities, musicians and special guests for this first ever Jazz Jam cruise out of Texas. The cruise will sail out of Galveston, Texas, October 5th, 2014.

What started out as an idea to just get a few musicians together to jam has grown to be the “GoTo" event of 2014. The Texas Jazz Jam Cruise will offer something for everyone who attends. To begin with, the Texas Jazz Jam Cruise will be helping out some very worthwhile jazz organizations such as the Austin Jazz Society, Women in Jazz, and the Austin Traditional Jazz Society. In addition, the Texas Jazz Jam Cruise gives the jazz musician the perfect opportunity to take a great vacation aboard a fabulous luxury ship. While they vacation, they can take in some workshops and if they get in the mood to jam, sit in with some of the best jazz players this side of New Orleans. The cost of the cruise includes all meals, gratuities and entertainment and best of all, the ships sails out of Galveston!

Jazz aficionados are not left out. Do you want to know the difference between Bebop and Dixieland? How about the history of Scat singing? There will be workshops such as Jazz Appreciation and Jazz History during the day for anyone who wants to brush up and learn more about the jazz genre. In the evening, jazz cruisers can dine at any one of the ships wonderful restaurants before settling in for a private performance of the Texas Jazz Jam band and guest players.

In Addition to the great music every night, all Texas Jazz Jam Cruise guests have the opportunity to take in the sights as the ship makes it's way to the islands of Roatan, Belize City, and Cozumel on this spectacular 7 day cruise.

Texas Jazz Jam guests will be on Royal Carribean's Navigator of the Seas luxury ship. You have not taken a cruise until you take one on this fabulous ship. With a casino, rock climbing wall, gift stores and over 10 pools, 16 bars, clubs and lounges, guests will have plenty of things to do.
