As we bid goodbye to winter and usher in a spring of new beginnings, we at The Jazz Foundation are filled with hope and appreciation.
Hope
that we may continue to assist our jazz, blues and roots musicians in
need, helping them through their challenges knowing someone cares. Hope
that when clients require medical care or fear losing their home as a
result of illness, age or unemployment, we can step in and provide the
necessary assistance. Hope that we can continue to create dignified
employment through our Gig Fund outreach and Jazz in the Schools programs. Hope that replaces despair and isolation.
Appreciation
for caring partners, as you are to us. Appreciation for each time you
reach into your hearts and make a donation to The Jazz Foundation,
enabling us to assist 30+ musicians (and their families) every day.
Appreciation for helping to replace despair with joy.
And as Jazz Appreciation Month
begins, we celebrate the music that enriches our lives by recognizing
all of the musicians who have given heart and soul to bring us comfort
and happiness. Special congratulations to the 2017 NEA Jazz Master inductees Dee Dee Bridgewater, Ira Gitler, Dick Hyman, Dave Holland, and Dr. Lonnie Smith for their lifetimes of dedication and artistry.
