The Montgomery Jazz Alliance (MJA) is Central Alabama’s premier collective of world-class jazz musicians, delivering unforgettable performances for any occasion. Founded by trombonist Trevor Sikorski, saxophonist/pianist Tim Stuart, and guitarist/bassist Joe Lauziere, MJA unites top-tier performers and educators dedicated to keeping the region’s jazz scene thriving.

Expect fiery solos, infectious grooves, and the kind of musical chemistry that turns every performance into an unforgettable experience—whether you're swinging to a straight-ahead standard, vibing to a Neo Soul groove, or getting lost in the textures of modern jazz. Every Sunday, MJA hosts an open jam for the region’s top jazz musicians and welcomes a special guest artist at large. Enjoy a Sunday afternoon full of our area’s best jazz music with us at The Lyric!

The Lyric at Esther’s is an All-Ages, Family-Friendly venue with Free Admission, Games, Food, Dinks and Sporting Events on Big-Screen Televisions.
