WHO WE ARE

The Jindojazz Story

Jindojazz is a production company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  It was founded by Barbara Bentree and John Rangel who are both practicing musicians as well as film and music producers.  This creative team was previously based for over a decade in Pacific Palisades, CA.  After many years of working for other companies and other artists, they decided to move their operations to Santa Fe and produce their own projects. 
 
We are all about content!  The Jindojazz mission is to create positive images for the planet.  Barbara and John are committed to tranformational projects about women's issues, environmental protection and animal rights.  As jazz musicians they are also working to educate and inspire audiences to learn about Jazz.  Most of the Jindojazz projects revolve around these central themes. Our goal is to create inspirational projects that will change the world.
 
New Mexico has a growing film and media industry and the Santa Fe cultural and visual landscape provides an incredibly fertile environment for creativity. 

 "In New Mexico, we can hear ourselves think."
