About Us
Basin Street Regulars Hot Jazz Club
Who we are
The Basin Street Regulars is non-profit a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. We are dedicated to the preservation and promotion of traditional jazz, in providing a place where jazz musicians can play and providing young musicians the opportunity to play along with older, more experienced musicians. To further this last interest, we provide scholarships to jazz music camps for promising young musicians.
If you enjoy traditional, classic jazz, the exciting Fats Waller-Louis Armstrong-Jack Teagarden-Benny Goodman Sextet kind of jazz that was the most popular music up through the beginning of the Big Band swing era, then you are in luck. Pismo Beach is the home of the Basin Street Regulars, probably the finest jazz club in the State! The Basin Street Regulars meet monthly to enjoy live jazz at the Pismo Beach Memorial Veterans’ Hall. The Basin Street Regulars also hosts the annual “Jazz Jubilee by the Sea” — a 3-day jazz festival attended by over 1200 people in 5 venues with over 20 bands.
