The Jazz Foundation of America will continue its fundraising efforts on behalf of musicians affected by the pandemic with “BIRD CALLS,” on Thursday, December 10th, a livestream celebrating the centennial of saxophonist, composer, and legendary musical innovator Charlie “Yardbird” Parker. The two-hour all-star show – recorded at the Brooklyn Bowl in New York, Vibrato Grill in Los Angeles, and the New Orleans Jazz Museum observing strict health safety protocols – will benefit the JFA’s COVID-19 Musicians’ Emergency Fund , established in March to provide direct financial assistance to musicians and families affected by the pandemic to help cover basic living expenses like rent, groceries, and utility bills.

That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school It gets rid of unwanted facial hair It gets rid of embarrassing age spots It delivers a pizza and it lengthens and it strengthens And it finds that slipper that's been at large Under the chaise lounge for several weeks And it plays a mean Rhythm Master It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar And it's only a dollar, step right up It's only a dollar, step right up

Today, October 11th, is National Coming Out Day. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate any board members, as well as their partners, friends or family, who have taken the courageous step to show the world who you really are.

Funny enough, sometimes a person coming out to a parent is met with: "Uh, yeah. I've know since you were a kid," or "Tell me something I don't know," or "Thank God. I thought you were never going to tell me". Again, celebrate the right to be who you are.
