  • Prominent Jazz Celebrations Are a Beautiful Thing by Jon W
    United States Source: Columbia Daily Tribune Retrieved from https://www.columbiatribune.com/story/entertainment/2021/04/17/prominent-jazz- celebrations-beautiful-thinG/7244183002/ on 21 June, 2021 Prominent jazz celebrations are a beautiful thing By Jon W. Poses [Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on Jazz Appreciation Month. Part One ran April 4.] Writing in this space January 24, I suggested Doug Emhoff, “The Second Gentleman,” surely must be a jazz fan. After all, he and his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, named their son Cole after John Coltrane and their daughter Ella after Ella Fitzgerald. I proposed that, all things being equal, there might be a good chance jazz would return to the White House, having a presence during the Obama Administration before completely disappearing during the following one. Lo and behold, less than three months later, it seems such a development has come to fruition. Emhoff will “provide opening remarks” as part of the upcoming NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert, according to a National Endowment for the Arts press release. The concert takes place Thursday, April 22 at 7 p.m. Missouri time in San Francisco, and will air virtually on multiple websites including the NEA’s own arts.gov, where it will also be archived for future viewing. For those of us who appreciate when jazz enjoys enhanced visibility, having Emhoff involved — even if it will likely be briefly — with the prestigious annual NEA Jazz Masters presentation should be taken as a positive. His participation bodes well for the White House, on some level, to be involved in future jazz-related activities.

The key elements of this vitality are the intersection of our dedicated audiences, our superb artists, and the Center itself—we work together to create this community.” The SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director program was established to give today’s most innovative and influential artists the chance to curate exclusive programming at the SFJAZZ Center often featuring unprecedented collaborations and world premiere projects between world-renowned artists.
