The Sydney Improvised Music Association Inc. (SIMA) is a not-for -profit incorporated association. Established in 1984 to address the lack of performance opportunities for contemporary jazz and improvised music, today we are one of the largest organisations in Australia dedicated solely to the sector.
In addition to championing veteran artists of importance, such as Bernie McGann and Judy Bailey, SIMA has consistently encouraged younger players to develop their voice. Its artist development and education initiatives provide professional opportunities to perform original music and commissioning opportunities.
