===Artistic director and creative chairs for Jazz===
* 2002–2006: [[Dianne Reeves]]
* 2006–2010: [[Christian McBride]]
* 2010–present: [[Herbie Hancock]]

Reeves was named the first "Creative Chair for Jazz" in March 2002. Instead of just focusing on summer programming, the new position involved the scheduling of jazz programming and educational workshops year round; as such, she led the development of the subscription jazz series the orchestra offered when it moved into [[Walt Disney Concert Hall]]. In addition, she was the first performer at the 2003 inaugural gala at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Her contract was initially for two years, and was subsequently renewed for an additional two years.<ref>{{cite news| title=L.A.

McBride took over the position in 2006 for an initial two-year position that was subsequently renewed for an additional two years through to the start of the 2010 summer season at the Hollywood Bowl. In 2009, the orchestra introduced Hancock as McBride's eventual replacement.

In 1998, prior to the establishment of the Creative Chair for Jazz, [[John Clayton (bassist)|John Clayton]] was given the title "Artistic Director of Jazz" at the Hollywood Bowl for a three-year term beginning with the 1999 summer season. His band, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, acted as the resident jazz ensemble.<ref name="Bernheimer"/>
