As the year draws to a close and we celebrate the holidays, I would ask that you remember the musicians who bring so much joy to our lives. Times are tough, especially for musicians who have no health insurance or pension plans.
For the last several years, our family has supported the Jazz Foundation of America. Please explore their website at http://jazzfoundation.org/ to read about the great work that they do supporting jazz and blues musicians.
The following testimonial from the great trumpeter Clark Terry is typical.
"The Jazz Foundation of America is our ‘Jazz Angel on Earth'! Health challenges and Father Time have hampered my ability to play, and my medical expenses have skyrocketed. Without JFA's help in providing a home health aide, I wouldn't have been able to stay at home. I've watched them help so many great musicians over the years, and now they're helping me. It's the best thing I've ever heard of. Seriously. They've been such a blessing."
