The Jazz Foundation presents its annual “A Great Night in Harlem” gala concert to benefit our Jazz Musicians Emergency Fund. This evening will raise money to assist countless elder jazz and blues musicians in crisis across the country, artists who have spent their lives making ours richer with their music.
For 23 years, the Jazz Foundation has been dedicated to saving the homes and lives of elder jazz and blues musicians in crisis. They now assist in over 6,000 cases a year, including hundreds of New Orleans musicians and their children still recovering from Katrina. This year’s concert is seeking to raise $1.6 million and, with your help, we can do it!
