Honoring Bertha Hope Pianist & Composer Legends of Jazz Award

Tuesday, June 12, 2018 The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College East 68th Street between Park & Lexington Avenues

1 Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce the National Jazz Museum in Harlem’s upcoming fifth annual Benefit Concert Gala, and invite you to partner with us as a sponsor of this exciting event. The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, a Smithsonian Affiliate, is a thriving center for jazz that stimulates hearts and minds, and reaches out to diverse audiences to enjoy this quintessential American music. It has been called a jewel in the cultural crown of the Harlem community.

This year, we will feature highly acclaimed, multi-GRAMMY Award winning pianist, composer and educator Arturo O’Farrill and his Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble; and our own co-artistic director, the multi-gifted Jon Batiste. The extraordinary composer and pianist Bertha Hope will be our Legends of Jazz recipient.

The Museum was founded in 1997 by the late Leonard Garment, Counsel to two U.S. Presidents and accomplished jazz saxophonist. A Congressional Appropriation, an initial gift by former Federal Judge Abe Sofaer, and support from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone soon followed. Twenty-one years later, the Museum, in our new location in Central Harlem on 129th Street, has seen extraordinary growth, reaches nearly 20,000 people annually from across the U.S. and around the world.

Our mission is to preserve, promote and present jazz by inspiring knowledge, appreciation, and the celebration of jazz locally, nationally, and internationally. We are committed to keeping jazz present and exciting in the lives of a broad range of audiences: young and old, novice and scholar, artist and patron, enthusiast and curious listener.

Each year, we produce and present more than 80 free programs in New York City making us a hub for live performances, exhibits and education programs. Our programs feature jazz musicians and scholars renowned in the field. We are also home to the widely acclaimed Savory Collection, which includes more than 100 hours of live recordings of jazz legends made from New York City radio broadcasts aired between 1935 and 1941. In 2016, we made news by releasing the first of the historic Savory Collection albums in partnership with Apple Music, and in 2017 received the prestigious Grand Prix Award from the Hot Club of France for two of those releases.

Education is central to our mission and we offer year-round educational programs for students of all ages. Our membership program has benefits with exclusive content that reaches out to the worldwide jazz community.

We hope you will make a difference by supporting The National Jazz Museum in Harlem and being part of our jazz community.

Thank you.

Cordially,

SAVORY COLLECTION

A jazz lover’s dream come true, the Savory Collection features never before heard live recordings of jazz legends at the height of their careers. Created by recording engineer William Savory, the collection includes more than 100 hours of recordings made from live New York City radio broadcasts between 1935 and 1941. Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Fats Waller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Django Reinhardt, Coleman Hawkins, Louis Jordan, Lennie Tristano and Bunny Berigan are just some of the musicians showcased in the Savory Collection.

Packed away for decades and only rumored to exist, the Savory Collection was acquired by the Museum in 2010 and has made headlines around the world — in The New York Times, BBC, NPR, Newsweek and more. The Savory Collection is a prized addition to the Museum’s continuously expanding collections.

Since October 2016 selections from this treasure trove have been made widely available through Apple Music, to critical acclaim. Currently, four volumes of the Savory Collection are available on iTunes with a limited edition, 6-CD box set being released this April through Mosaic Records.
