Description
What is a Jazz House? Quite simply, a Jazz House is the creative space where we come together with young people, their families and teachers to share, appreciate and learn about the jazz experience.
It is a mobile house, constantly in play, with wheels that turn on improvisation as it negotiates its way toward that incandescent goal: the celebration of jazz. It is a house whose foundation is built on:
- Respect for creativity
- Tolerance for diversity
- Harmony in teamwork
- Love for self and others
- An abiding passion to preserve the legacy, and ensure the future, of jazz.
It is where we live
