Tracking Series #2: Wealth, Equity, and 21st-Century Jazz

Join our second Tracking Series event, a roundtable discussion on wealth, equity, and 21st-Century jazz. We’ll react to recent talks, including the SFJAZZ Town Hall, on the needs of the Bay Area’s jazz community with Andy Gilbert (SF Classical Voice), Cory Combs (bass, composition, Executive Director of InterMusicSF), and Darren Johnston (trumpet); dig into data on recent commissions and the programs of major arts organizations compiled by C4NM co-founder Adam Fong (bass); and, with help from local leaders Lisa Mezzacappa (bass), Destiny Muhammad (harp), and others, examine the structures that support the Bay Area scene to help identify what is working, and where more work is needed.

Discussion will run from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. Light refreshments provided.
