Music and a Mission

The Jazz Happy Hours is a partnership between Crime Victims First and Jeff Lofton to expand the influence of Jazz, and to increase awareness about our grassroots nonprofit.  CV1 is a 501(C)(3) tax-exempt victims' rights resource center and legal clinic.  Our mission is to improve the treatment of victims/survivors of crime, promote and protect victims' rights, and to prevent rights violations through education, advocacy, and enforcement.  The Jazz Happy Hours is a fun and creative approach to our work.  Your support and participation is greatly appreciated!  See KVUE News Story Here

Each month, Crime Victims First presents Jazz Happy Hours featuring Jeff Lofton, a "Jazz Giant," - (Andy Langer) and "A Phenomenal Jazz Trumpeter" - (American Statesman).  The Jeff Lofton Quartet or Jeff Lofton Electric Thang will perform.  Throughout the year, special guest stars will also perform including renowned singers, musicians, and artists.  Jeff Lofton will accompany them, so stay tuned. All our events are held during happy hours throughout the city.  These events will be free unless there is a special guest star or a ticket is required.

For the most up to date information see "Monthly Events" below.

Our hope is that you will attend one of our Jazz Happy Hours, enjoy great music, and support our music and a mission vision.  Your ticket purchase or tax-deductible donation really makes a difference.  We rely on private donations to support our efforts.  Thank you.  If you are interested in sponsoring a Jazz Happy Hours event, a Special Guest Star Appearance or if you are having a Private Party, we can bring the Jazz Happy Hours event to you!  We can accommodate a variety of budgets.  Once again, thank you for your time, support, and consideration. We hope you enjoy our events!  See press release
