Style Guide

On first reference, please use: "We Always Swing" Jazz Series (please note the quotation marks). On subsequent referrals simply use Jazz Series (upper/lower case; no quotes). Please do no refer to the Jazz Series as the "Jazz Concert Series." On occasion we collaborate with the University Concert Series, however we are a wholly independent, community-based organization.

Periodically, the Jazz Series collaborates and receives additional support and sponsorships from a variety of MU (University of Missouri-Columbia) Colleges, Schools and departments however it is not "officially" part of the university or any other institutions of higher education.
