An illustration of New Orleans legendary Danny Barker strumming a banjo stands as an appropriate welcome to the website for the upcoming Jazz Education Network's 15th Annual Conference that's making a return to New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. The event, described as “part music festival, part networking, part education and all inspiration,” takes place from Wednesday, January 3 to Saturday, January 6, 2024 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
