Dekajaz was a 10 piece concert jazz band based in Los Angeles. The group was critically acclaimed and most notably was founded to promote under-represented female jazz artists in the Southern California region much like the group Maiden Voyage.[1] The group had many prominent performances in Los Angeles during their existence.[2][3][4] Their album Eclectikos was released in September 2003.[5][6][7]
