Letter
from the
Chairman
It is with great pleasure that we present the 2013 Annual Report for Jazz Aspen
Snowmass. 2013 marked the second consecutive year of strong positive momentum
across all of our production and education activities. Jim Horowitz, JAS’ CEO and
founder has detailed the highlights of the 2013 season in his letter that follows.
It has been my privilege to serve as your Board Chairman this year. Recapping the 2013
season serves to remind us that JAS is creating music experiences in Aspen that far
exceed the standards for communities of our size. From our live music June and Labor
Day Experiences to our more intimate JAS Café shows, JAS enriches our community
and provides cultural opportunities rarely found outside of major metropolitan cities.
During 2013 JAS produced 38 events that served 45,415 audience members. Our 2013
line-ups were amazing and brought record crowds of enthusiastic music fans.
Momentum also grew across JAS’ various student music education initiatives.
In 2013 JAS continued to serve as the musical lifeline to our budget strapped
public schools from Aspen to Rifle. We donated $125,000+ to support music
programs, instruction, instrument purchases, and tickets for live performance
education. With JAS’ support the enrollment in local music education courses
has more than doubled to serve over 1400 students that have never been more
inspired. We feel that our efforts in the schools and for students across the Roaring
Fork Valley and beyond are more important now than ever and we are committed
to increasing our support year over year.
I thank our performers, donors, sponsors, National Council members, ticket buyers,
staff and Board Members who have made this season such a success. We are pleased
with our progress over the past year and enter 2014 with great enthusiasm for what
lies ahead.
With warm regards and sincere thanks.

Letter from the President/CEO
In 2013, Jazz Aspen Snowmass (JAS)
experienced continued positive
financial results coupled with critically
acclaimed programs across all core
operations. A significant turnaround,
first achieved in 2012 after a few very
challenging years during the height of
the economic downturn, continued in
2013 with a net operating surplus of
$400k+. The most important trends of
2013 can be summarized as follows.
• JAS FUNDRAISING: Individual
donors grew significantly in 2013
particularly through Patron Passes for
its annual Labor Day weekend event,
fueled by an advance sell-out. • JAS CAFÉ DOWNSTAIRS AT
THE NELL: In 2012, JAS expanded
its Mission driven new winter/
summer jazz series into a year-round
consistent bi-weekly presentation
from December through March and
June through August.
The Program achieved continued
growth in 2013 with the addition of
bigger artists and more performances,
and continued its trend of sold-out
shows in both winter and summer.
The JAS Café has dramatically
increased JAS’ year-round presence,
» 4 « j a z z a s p en s n o wm a s s
and helped introduce new audiences
and donors to the organization.
The JAS Café has given JAS a real,
permanent home for jazz programming
for the first time in its 24 year history.
The JAS Café has also given JAS an
ongoing platform for “educating
audiences”, one of our principal
Mission objectives. “A Cultural
Home Run” ­–Aspen Sojourner
• MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS:
JAS Local Education Initiatives
continued to grow steadily in the
Roaring Fork Valley with increased
instrument donations; Pays to Play
private music lessons; JAS InSchool residencies with professional
musicians and the Battle of the
Bands. In 2013 over 1400 students
were reached through JAS Education
Initiatives. Annual funding for LEI
grew 10% in 2013.
• COLLABORATION WITH AEG FOR
LABOR DAY FESTIVAL BOOKINGS:
In 2012, JAS set a record for its gross
general admission ticket revenues at
its Labor Day weekend event. In 2013,
JAS set a record for gross Patron
revenues on Labor Day weekend,
helping to counter-balance the
loss of certain corporate
sponsorship dollars from
2012. In the third year of
JAS’ collaboration with
concert industry giant AEG,
we are seeing continued
growth in the stature of
artists performing, and
the benefits of marketing
support AEG has been able
to bring.
• STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE: In
2013, JAS completed an update of
its new Strategic Plan, which was
adopted by its Board of Directors
in January of 2013. The project
involved rigorous internal analysis
of our strengths, weaknesses and
opportunities for growth, involving
staff, Board and key constituents
of JAS. The resulting document is a
detailed road map for JAS through
our 25th Year Anniversary in 2015.

about Jazz Aspen

is that they bring

JAS In-Schools 2013
Educating
Students
Letter from Tami Suby Glenwood Springs Middle & High School Band Director
When I took over the flailing band program in Glenwood 3½ years ago I had no idea what I was
committing to. Band students had been through three directors in three years and numerous
sub’s. They were very behind musically and didn’t know how a Band rehearsal was supposed
to work. After about a week of trying to go at it alone, and many evening tears, I met JAS InSchools Director Chris Bank. He walked in and introduced himself and said he was with Jazz
Aspen Snowmass and was there to help me in any way possible. I might have shed a different
kind of tear right then. Chris came almost every day and worked with individuals, taught
sectionals, gave me thoughtful advice, and basically helped me to reshape the middle school
band program. He also brought in other valley musicians to help bridge the learning gaps that
those young musicians had from months of a substitute and consecutive yearly changes in
directors. It may sound melodramatic, but I would not have come back the next year without
Chris Bank and JAS’s help.
The next year we had an increase in student numbers and needed instruments badly. JAS
stepped in and bought a baritone saxophone, a tenor saxophone, and helped with several other
instruments we could not afford on our annual budget. In addition, Chris and JAS started a Jazz
Band at the Middle School that met once a week.
Last year JAS provided three different teachers to support in the classroom, took over the High
School Jazz Band which had been cut, and offered the support of an online resource from Berklee
School of Music that teaches Music Theory and practice in an engaging and fun way. This in-class
help is invaluable to us as our numbers have continued to grow and I cannot meet the needs of
every student.
During the summer many students put their instruments under their bed or in a closet. Now, they
are taking advantage of the awesome opportunity to participate in one of the Summer Music
Camps offered by JAS. It is a great way to keep growing in those months when it is easy to forget
what they have learned.
Our student numbers in Glenwood have gone from around 110 in 2010 to 275 in 2013. A huge part
of that success and enthusiasm comes from the support JAS has given to our students. They are
excited about music and now see the depth of opportunity, joy, and pride that can come from their
continued commitment and effort.
To those of you that support JAS financially, thank you. You make a difference in my life and
the lives of 275 musicians and their families in Glenwood. Many of those students cannot afford
private lessons, instruments, or the other opportunities that JAS offers. Music programs around the
country are being cut and because of the support that you give, our local programs are stronger
than they have been in decades.
TAMI SUBY
JAS Local Education Initiatives
JAS Local Education Initiatives complement existing public school music
programs and replace programs where schools suffer losses in music education.
The goal is to ensure that these schools maintain band and music programs
in their curriculum.
In 2013 over 1400 students were reached through JAS LEI programming.
JAS IN-SCHOOLS FACULTY
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. Provides
funding to bring local musicians into
classrooms to offer student assistance
in an instrument that is not their teachers
discipline, or in classes that are too
large for the teachers to provide
individual instruction.

provided in 2013 to the following
schools: Aspen Middle & High Schools,
Basalt Middle School, Carbondale Middle
School, Glenwood Springs Middle
& High Schools, Rifle Middle & High
School, Yampah Mountain High School,
Riverside Middle School and Coal Ridge
High School.
PAYS TO PLAY. Allows youth to take
private music lessons in any discipline
from an instructor recommended by
JAS. JAS pays for the first three hours of
lessons to increase opportunities for music
education while supporting the economy
of local musicians.

70 students.
Instruments taught: alto sax, bassoon,
brass, cello, clarinet, euphonium, flute,
guitar, piano, saxophone, trombone,
trumpet, violin and vocals.

UNC/GREELY JAZZ FESTIVAL TRIP.
Each year JAS sends a group of
deserving jazz music students to the
Greely Jazz Festival. The largest event
of its kind, the Festival brings together
internationally recognized artists, jazz
lovers, award-winning clinicians, and over
250 college, high school, and middle
school big bands, combos, and jazz vocal
groups from across the country. Each
year, over 7500 participants enjoy the
main stage concerts, after-hours sessions,
daytime performances, and the many
educational workshop sessions.
BAND BATTLE. Students from
elementary, middle and high schools
from throughout the Valley and beyond
compete in four hours at this popular
annual event. 2013 winners of Garage
Band, Big Dog & the Midnite Badgers
were given a day’s worth of recording
time at Great Divide Studios and the
opportunity to play on the JAS Village
Stage during the Saturday and Sunday of
the Labor Day event.
65 student participants
JAS SUMMER CAMPS. Three sessions of
camps including beginner, intermediate
and advance each summer. Students

JAS STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
Implemented in 2012, the program
provides grants for public music teachers
to receive administrative assistance from
an upper level student, thereby allowing
them more time to focus on teaching vs.
the administrative tasks that are often so
overwhelming.
6 students assisting at 7 schools
reaching over 500 students.
JAS STUDENT SPOTLIGHT:
Karla Enriquez - 11th Grade,
Basalt High School
Karla Enriquez is one of six students
who participated in the 2013 JAS
Student Assistance Program. A flute
player, Karla assists Nick Lenio (Basalt
Middle & High School Music Instructor)
with his 5th grade woodwinds class,
helping the beginners learn notes and
offering individual help where she can.
Karla is also able to assist Mr. Lenio with
administrative tasks which allow him
more free time with the students. We
met up with Karla recently to learn more
about her experiences.
What is your favorite thing about
music? It makes people feel emotions
they wouldn’t otherwise feel.
What is your favorite part of the
Teacher Assistant Position? Getting
to help the 5th graders improve.
In what ways can you use this
experience in your future plans?
I could use it to be an assistant teacher
in college. Also in kitchens since I
would like to become a Chef. I’ve
learned great organizations skills that
will help me in the kitchen.
How has music helped you outside of
the Band Room? Playing has helped
me with math and staying focused.
What got you interested in music?
A musician visited my kindergarten
class and played the flute which
sparked my interest.

JAS OUTSTANDING STUDENT AWARDS. Provided three exceptional Middle
School and three High School students a $250 gift certificate for music supplies, plus
a Teacher of the Year Award which was given to Steve Heldt from Aspen Middle and
High School.
Interview with Steve Heldt, Aspen Middle & High School Band Director 2013 JAS Music Instructor of the Year
What attracted you to the Band Director
position in Aspen?
When my last position was restructured,
my wife and I saw it as an opportunity to
do something drastic with our lives. When
the opportunity to start a life here in Aspen
presented itself, it seemed meant to be.
The lifestyle, the culture, the landscape, it all
seemed to make sense. My wife left her job
in the fashion industry, we sold our house
that same day, we jumped on a plane and we
began what has been a fantastic adventure.
What have you found different about
teaching in Aspen vs. your prior
experiences?
Well, there is a steep learning curve when it
comes to the local tradition and feeling out the
values of the community, but the amount of
support, openness, and lack of political effect
on educational decisions is a breath of fresh
air, coming from the Chicagoland area. People
here (from parents, to administration, to
students) honestly want the best experiences
for the students. They are willing to listen to
different perspectives and work slowly but
purposefully toward positive change.
» 8 « j a z z a s p en s n o wm a s s
What have you enjoyed most about your
first year in the Valley, both professionally
and personally?
Professionally, I love that there are
organizations like Jazz Aspen Snowmass and
the Music Festival here willing to contribute so
deeply to the educational side of music. I love
that my students get to work with and witness
great musicians on a regular basis. With a
community so steeped in a culture of musical
excellence, there is no good reason our school
music program should not be on the same
level. The more the music community connects
with our school music program, the faster we
realize that goal. Personally, going out and
experiencing all the valley has to offer has
been the most enjoyable aspect of living here.
This valley is not just a long road with skiing on
one end and hot springs on the other. Just this
past weekend, my wife and I were exhausted
from the work week and took our first bike ride
of the year to clear our minds - and it was the
best bike ride ever! Just simply biking down
by the river, we were turned right back into
tourists, taking videos of the amazing scenery
to send back to our jealous flat-lander friends
back home.
What made you decide to
become a Band Director?
(How much time do you have?)
To keep things short, becoming a
Band Director became my focus
when a number of stars aligned. I knew
that I wanted to help as many people
as I could. I knew the way music made
me feel, and I wanted to feel that way as
much as I possibly could. I also wanted
to share that feeling with as many people
as I could. The real decision came when
I had to choose between performer and
educator. Although there were a lot of
factors to consider, the one that stuck out
the most was the old saying about giving
a man a fish versus teaching a man to
fish. As a performer, I could give people
musical moments, but as an educator,
I can teach people to make them for
themselves. I believe that music is the
true universal language. I believe that
the product of music education is people
- problem-solving, critically-thinking,
empathizing, disciplined, open-minded,
cultured people (who happen to be
musicians). I believe that Beethoven was
right when he said that “Music is the
electrical soil in which the spirit lives,
thinks, and invents.” I became a band
director to spread electricity.
ALLIANCE WITH BERKLEE COLLEGE
OF MUSIC. Jazz Aspen Snowmass is a
member of the Berklee College of Music’s
“Berklee City Music”, a nonprofit music
education program that harnesses the
energy of contemporary music to reach
underserved 4th to 12th graders across
the country. The heart of this music
education program is the Berklee PULSE,
or “Pre University Learning System
Experience,” which supports guided
teaching and learning of popular music
through the innovative use of an online
music education resource.
Tami Suby represented JAS in the spring of
2013 at the Berklee School of Music PULSE
training program in Boston, and became
an official PULSE-Certified Instructor later
that year. Chris Bank was able to represent
JAS last fall at the Berklee City Music
Conference in Nashville, TN.
June
Festival
Highlights of the 2013 June Festival
included not just outstanding
performances on the main stage but the
huge success of the JAS Free Lawn Party
on the Benedict Music Tent grounds.
JAS spent $25,000 to host the lawn party,
which included two bands playing for two
hours each evening, as well as multiple
food vendors and bars.
The concept enabled JAS to draw new
audiences to the June Festival: 57% of
whom had never been to a concert at
the Benedict Music Tent. It also drew
younger audiences with attendees under
50 increasing 31% from 2012!

Labor Day
Festival
Despite the rainfall on Friday and Saturday,
thousands came out for an all-star lineup highlighted by Saturday’s sell-out
performances from Keith Urban, Train
and Little Big Town. In fact, it was a record
breaking wet weekend in which JAS
experienced its highest ever 3-day event
ticket sales at 25,700 people.
JAS went into 2013 with a goal of
increasing three-day pass sales. Once
again focusing on the “72 Hottest Hours of
the Summer” campaign, JAS was able to
increase total 3-day sales 48% from 2012. A
huge accomplishment that assisted in filling
area hotels and increasing retail dollars
spent in the community.
Overall feedback from attendees was
very positive, and luckily most didn’t
mind the rain based on the quality of the
performances they saw (all but one of
which were rated 5 out of 5 in satisfaction!).

Café

The JAS Café Downstairs @ the Nell has virtually exploded
in popularity in just its third full season, attracting a growing audience

pioneers Spyro Gyra in February.
influences of America’s classical music, jazz. JAS has quickly morphed into a year-round
cultural presence while affirming its core Mission of broadening the appreciation of and
audience for jazz. After 23 years of nomadically presenting jazz in the Roaring Fork Valley
in locations as diverse as the Silvertree Hotel Cabaret Room, the Hotel Jerome Ballroom,
The Wheeler, Harris Hall and L’Hostaria Ristorante, JAS has finally found a seemingly
permanent home for world-class jazz on a year-round basis, that should only grow in
audience and popularity with time.
The JAS Café has quickly become JAS’ most important Programming Initiative in years,
enabling the organization to educate thousands of attendees annually about the wide

blends of their indigenous music through the language of jazz improvisation. Artists from
countries including Brazil, France, Italy, Cuba and Jamaica have been seen side by side
with American musicians. The international imprint of the JAS Café seems ideally suited to
a community which boasts a disproportionately large number of international visitors and,
whose perspective as a modern community has been heavily influenced by the stream of
year-round visitors to its globally minded institutions like the Aspen Institute, Aspen Music
Festival & School and Aspen Art Museum.
The JAS Café is increasingly fielding inquiries from major agents and artists who have
heard very positive feedback about the concerts and audiences and are seeking
performance opportunitites at the venue, a solid indication of the program’s growing
national reputation.
JAS anticipates that the JAS Café will play an increasingly important role in the future as a
bridge to other important not for profit organizations and their constituencies, whom JAS
believes will increasingly become Café attendees, opening the door to future productive
collaborations between JAS and Aspen’s other leading not for profit organizations.
“A cultural home run!“

Special Events
JANUARY 31

MARCH 15
National Council
Kickoff Party
This year JAS switched it up and held
the National Council Party at the JAS
Café Downstairs at the Little Nell.
Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were
served in the foyer followed by a
Tony Monaco Soul Jazz Hammond B3
Organ Summit putting on a very soulful
performance for a packed house.
JULY 5
July Pre-Concert
Patron Party
Yet another great July Pre-Concert
Party was hosted by Suzanne Leydecker.
Caribou Club Catering gets more
inventive every year with their cuisine
and their delivery. Since Pink Martini
was performing later that evening at the
Benedict Music Tent the theme was all
things Pink Martini, which were served
with a pineapple popsicle.
JULY 26
Prada Event
For the 4th year JAS was fortunate to
collaborate with PRADA for a private
cocktail reception with a portion of
the proceeds benefiting JAS. It was a
great success with everyone shopping
and enjoying the music of the Sammy
Figueroa Latin Jazz All Stars.
JULY 27
JAS 2013
Lucky Lounge
This was a fun year with the Greenwald
Pavilion being transformed into a hip
lounge atmosphere with white couches
surrounding the dance floor and neon
lighted high top tables. The hosts,
Richard and Kitzia Goodman, and all the
attendees looked stunning and set the
mood by dancing the entire night to the
jump jive music of Steve Lucky and the
Rhumba Bums. The auction was brief
but generated substantial funds that
will enable JAS to grow the In-Schools
music education programs. The night
was complete when JAS had the great
honor to recognize longtime friends
and supporters Alec and Gail Merriam
for their years of dedication to the
organization.
AUGUST 29
Labor Day
Kickoff Party
Presented by Patron Spirits Company,
Labor Day Weekend kicked-off on
the luxurious roof top lounge of
the Dancing Bear. Guests enjoyed
hors d’oeuvres and Patron cocktails,
including specialty drinks from their
unique tasting wall. The wind played a
factor in the beginning of the evening
but subsided so that party goers
enjoyed an Aspen evening on the deck.
DECEMBER 7
National Council
Party In
Fort Lauderdale
The Levinson’s graciously opened their
home to host a National Council /
Friendraising Party in Fort Lauderdale
that was co-hosted by Gerry & Ellen
Greenspoon and Mark & Robin
Levinson. The stunning Nicole Henry
put on a phenomenal performance for
the crowd, while Chef Steve Martorano
prepared an elegant multi course dinner
including his famous meatballs. It was a
beautiful evening of music and food.
2013 Snowmass
Summer of Free
Music Series
In 2013 JAS was asked by the Town of
Snowmass to once again book their
free Thursday night concert series.
The result was an eclectic mix of music
crossing over many genres throughout
the summer.
