About Jazz Foundation :
For 20 years, the Jazz Foundation of America has quietly rescued 5,000 emergency musician cases. They recorded with Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, even Jimi Hendrix. They played for you on Bourbon Street, they gave Wynton his first gig and now they need us. Since Katrina alone, the Jazz Foundation has been keeping hundreds of jazz and blues legends from eviction by paying rents and mortgages, creating meaningful employment, making free concerts in hundreds of public schools while bringing joy to thousands of children across the country who have no music programs, providing free medical care and operations and so much more in times of illness or crisis.
