That is why Perez was the perfect choice in 2010 to become the first artistic director of the newly formed Berklee Global Jazz Institute (BGJI). For in addition to being an accomplished and respected musician, Perez was an educator who recognized the Berklee Global Jazz Institute in Africa. connectivity between creativity, music, and social change. of energy, but even more humbling future of jazz in Boston owe him The thirteen students selected for and inspiring is how he invests those muchas gracias.” the Institute are mentored by jazz qualities fully toward the service of Perez’s vision continues to extend masters like , others,” says BGJI student and jazz beyond Boston and Panama.
