The foundation's musical ensemble - the Big Band Jazz Hall of Fame Orchestra - continues to perform each year - primarily in the summer months in the San Diego North County area. Concerts scheduled in 2020 and 2021 were postponed and canceled due to the Covid Pandemic. Its first concerts back took place August 27, 2022 at the Willowbrook Concert Series in Vista, CA. Numerous Big Band/ Swing Era and Jazz artists have been guests with the ensemble over the years including: Herb Jeffries (Ellington & Earl Hines vocalist), Bill Watrous (trombone), Kevin Cole (piano) and Tad Calcara (principal clarinet of the Utah Symphony). The foundation continues to support local public school students with its yearly scholarship program.
