It’s always good to see the arts receive more recognition in the public sector. Though educators and modern companies do seem to be getting better about providing motivation to individuals to pursue creative fields, I feel there is always room for improvement. This event looks to provide a fascinating and insightful look at Jazz’s influence on an international scale, and I can only commend such a program.
