Jazz is a significant hallmark of American history and culture. It has brought people of all creeds, nations and backgrounds together under it's smooth current. Jazz inspired thousands of innovations in American music. To play jazz genuinely takes a tremendous amount of dedication, practice and creative prowess. A jazz player learns the story of jazz through  it's songs and through its legends only to then retell their own inmate stories.  These stories help us remember who we are, and we can find common ground in experiences we all can relate to.
