Excellence in the Community
A 501 C3 not for profit corporation founded on a simple idea: We believe the Wasatch Front’s finest musicians are a valuable world class resource that could be better deployed to improve the quality of life in our communities and enhance our area’s reputation to visitors.The Wasatch Front in Utah is home to many world class musicians who generally perform in the background at private and corporate events. We believe there is a gap in the public’s perception between what our finest musicians are currently doing and what they are capable of doing. Excellence in the Community moves local musicians from the background to the concert hall and turns on the spotlights. We showcase local excellence. One concert at a time we prove our point: the area’s top musicians are worthy of any stage; and one concert at a time we move toward our larger goal of establishing Utah as a center for world class music of many genres.

Gam Foundation
Jazz at the Sheraton is a non-profit, concert series funded and produced by the GAM Foundation, an organization established in 1994 to increase the awareness, appreciation and popularity of jazz in our community. To this end, the GAM Foundation donates 350 tickets to each concert to over 45 local schools and universities which have active jazz programs for their students.
