About this concert
The outdoor concert series, held on Tuesday nights in June, has been a staple of the community for nearly three decades.
This will be the 29th year for June Jazz, which commonly draws an audience of thousands to the College and is named in honor of its founder and continuous organizer, Dr. Jim Laughlin, professor of music.
The concerts are free and open to the public. They occur from 7:30 to 9 p.m. each Tuesday throughout June on the Oeschger Family Mall located in the center of the Washington Street Campus. The program will move inside the nearby Concert Hall Theater in the event of rain.

Daruma Biography
Daruma is a fresh, new contemporary jazz project featuring original music by some of Denver’s finest young talent. Their sound takes audiences from deep grooves, to intimate ballads, to Coltrane-inspired swing. Daruma reinterprets the jazz aesthetic for the 21st century and crosses it with progressive rock, film music, and neo-soul in a genre-bending original sound.
Members of the ensemble have performed with leading voices in contemporary music ranging from Billy Childs, Rufus Reid and Tia Fuller to the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Big Gigantic. They’ve played at notable venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Blue Note Amsterdam, and Birdland, and have won ASCAP and Downbeat awards.
The ensemble will release their debut album on the Monk Music label in the Spring of 2024.
