You're Invited to Play Your Part! ONLINE JAZZ PARTY & FUNDRAISER SPONSOR PACKAGES You’re Invited to Play your Part! The Nashville Jazz Workshop (NJW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching people’s lives through jazz education and performance. For 20 years the NJW has delivered world class performances and music education to Nashville audiences and jazz fans around the country and the world. 2020 has been a challenging year for cultural institutions everywhere as they seek to fulfill their missions and remain financially viable. Fortunately, the internet has enabled the NJW to continue serving audiences and students – over 20,000 people have subscribed to the NJW’s YouTube channel to view live and archived performances and hundreds have enrolled in virtual classes since social distancing restrictions began in March. Jazzmania is the NJW’s annual jazz party and fundraiser. As a live event it has been “the jazz party of the year” and one of the city’s most engaging and fun charity events. As with other charity events, the event is moving online this year as a virtual event. On October 24, 2020 the Workshop will host Jazzmania as an online jazz party and evening of world class jazz performances. We will share our love of jazz, celebrate the Workshop’s 20th anniversary and ask our devoted fans to open their hearts and wallets to support the Workshop. The streaming event will also be targeted to a global audience, to build awareness of the NJW and engagement with jazz fans around the world. Proceeds from the event will support the NJW’s Music Education, Performance Series and Community Outreach. The 90-minute program will be hosted by renowned Memphis saxophonist Kirk Whalum, and will feature an amazing roster of world class artists, most of whom have performed, taught, or studied at the NJW: Beegie Adair, Peter Bernstein, Jeff Coffin, Champian Fulton, Jeff Hamilton, Christian McBride, Donna McElroy, Keb’ Mo’, Rachael Price and Vilray, Kandace Springs, Chester Thompson, and Victor Wooten. The array of talent is staggering: A combined 20 Grammys, 3.5 million social media followers, 41+ million streams, and hundreds of TV appearances and world tours. They are donating their time and talent in support of this unique cultural institution and this great cause. JAZZMANIA BENEFITS-AT-A-GLANCE Sponsors logos will be featured prominently in all email and social media marketing efforts starting August 15. We will target the 5,000 engaged donors and fans on our email list, distribute a promotional video about the event to our 21,000 YouTube subscribers, and reach out to our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter followers. Combined, your name and logo will reach over 34,000 people. During the October 24 event, your business will benefit from exposure to a large and attentive audience of loyal fans and friends of the NJW in Middle Tennessee and jazz aficionados from around the country and around the world. Your company will enjoy the “halo effect” of supporting a beloved Nashville music non-profit located in and committed to the success and vibrancy of our North Nashville neighborhood, a diverse district still recovering from a devastating March 2020 tornado.

Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Traditional Funk: An Ethnographic, Historical, and Practical Study of Funk Music in Dayton, Ohio Honors Thesis Caleb G. Vanden Eynden Department: Music Advisor: Samuel N. Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Abstract Recognized nationally as the funk capital of the world, Dayton, Ohio takes credit for birthing important funk groups (i.e. Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, and Lakeside) during the 1970s and 80s. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival research, this paper offers a pedagogical approach to Dayton funk, rooted in the styles and works of the city’s funk legacy. Drawing from fieldwork with Dayton funk musicians completed over the summer of 2019 and pedagogical theories of including black music in the school curriculum, this paper presents a pedagogical model for funk instruction that introduces the ingredients of funk (instrumentation, form, groove, and vocals) in order to enable secondary school music programs to create their own funk rooted in local history.
