About
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Jazz Inc. started with humble beginnings busking in the San Diego communities of Ocean Beach and Balboa, and have since become known as one of San Diego's leading young talents. Their passion for jazz, sound, live performances, and bonding with their listeners is what makes up the creative, unique, and fun people that Jazz Inc. have been known to be.
DISCOVERING OUR PASSION
Jazz Inc. was formed around the San Diego jazz scene and the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory, lead by the trumpet phenomenon Gilbert Castellanos. A majority of Jazz Inc. members were blessed with the opportunity to be a part of Gilbert's school, and they all found a passion around that program. Since every member was so passionate about jazz, the progression was natural, as they followed their true desires to make their dreams come true.
