Who We Are
CapitalBop, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting and presenting jazz in Washington, D.C. We build audiences in order to build community around this music, because it’s important to the city’s historic identity, but also ever-changing and contemporary. CapitalBop.com is designed to help everyone from newcomers to jazz die-hards find live music that will fit their preferences.
What We Do
CapitalBop.com is your D.C. jazz portal, featuring a jazz calendar with editor's picks, a blog, and interactive maps of D.C.'s jazz neighborhoods. We also host the DC Jazz Loft and other shows in alternative venues throughout the year. Our education program fights to bring jazz education back to students in the D.C. school system.
In 2021, CapitalBop teamed up with Washington Parks & People to host the first annual NEXTfest at Malcolm X/Meridian Hill park to celebrate DC's gogo, funk, and jazz music culture. In 2022, the one day festival was expanded to two days of celebration at the park (Saturday) and the Josephine Butler Park Center (Sunday).
