Bringing together artists and audiences of all ages to experience the power of jazz, community, and swing!

Jazz Power Initiative presents Intergenerational Jazz Power Jam: Voices & Rhythm featuring Dr. E (Eli Yamin), Zah! Ensemble and Jazz Power with special guests Annette A. Aguilar, percussion, Michael Blake, saxophone and flute, Rubens de La Corte, guitar, and Jennifer Vincent, bass. Voices & Rhythm celebrates the African diaspora through rhythms rooted in swing and samba featuring songs by Jon Hendricks, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and various Brazilian composers.
