The organization, which makes it it's object to develop jazz music worldwide through education and accompaniment, hands out scholarships to jazz students, scouts for talents and looks for mentors for them. The IAJE also commands composition assignments. The Sisters in Jazz all stars-project momentarily tours all European festivals. It's an international sextet of young women from the IAJE-nursery of young musicians.
