Mission ion The Western Jazz Presenters Network (WJPN) is a coalition of jazz presenters in the western region of North America. The WJPN is dedicated to mutual support through networking, collective block- booking of touring jazz artists, professional development and advancement of the full diversity of the jazz field. One goal is to make it financially viable for presenters, especially from rural and underserved communities, to bring national jazz artists to their audiences using the economies of block booking.
