Established in 1954, and over 250 members strong, have been in operation for over 65 continuous years. Each 3rd Sunday of the month, the Denver Jazz Club hosts a professional band, from 2:00 until 5:00pm, at Westminster Elks Club, 3850 Elk Dr. There is cabaret-style seating, a dance floor and a cash bar. The University of Colorado Denver Claim Jumpers Ensemble performs in between the sets of the professional band.

The Denver Jazz Club Scholarships
We encourage and educate young musicians who want to learn to play jazz. The Denver Jazz Club provides financial support to aspiring jazz musicians through the Ron Cope Scholarship and the Claim Jumpers Scholarship at the University of Colorado Denver. Proceeds from the annual Ron Cope Scholarship fundraiser featuring the Hot Tomatoes Dance Orchestra benefit a deserving young musician in the UCD Claim Jumpers. The Denver Jazz Club through the University of Colorado Foundation also supports the Claim Jumpers Scholarship at the University of Colorado Denver, College of Arts and Media, Department of Music and Entertainment Industry Studies. If you would like to use PayPal to make a donation to support the Denver Jazz Club Education Fund, use the “Donate” button on the Membership Page!
