I love jazz because its speaks to my soul. It is the music of my people. As a child I was surrounded by African American music. Sometimes it was my mother singing church songs while washing clothes or maybe my dad playing James Brown in the car. Jazz for me was just another form of the Black music that was in and around Philadelphia. I could feel the relationship between the Gospel music from church, the R&B at home and on the radio, the blues music that my neighbors played and jazz. Later, I was exposed to the pulse African drumming. Those African rhythms are the connection and the foundation for of all of these forms of music. For me jazz incorporates all of these. There is a spirit in the music. This is what keeps jazz alive for me.

Now in its 13th year at the Cheltenham Center for the arts, Jazz Bridge is a non-profit arts organization serving a need no one else is addressing in the Philadelphia area: responding to local jazz and blues artists in times of need. Proceeds from the neighborhood concert series go to help local jazz musicians in personal or professional crisis. Concerts feature prominent jazz and blues musicians during an hour and a half long program which includes a Q&A with the artists.
