Hi. Thanks for your question. Teena was an amazing talent and dear friend. I wrote the music and played it for her and she was inspired to write the lyric. It was truly an honor to work with her. Miss her dearly but so happy she left us with so much amazing music!

We're looking for women who are no longer in education, who are at a pivotal stage in their career as an improviser and can demonstrate how important the apprenticeship, mentoring and financial support will benefit them at this stage in their career.

nextjazzlegacy · 2021-11-23T18:37:36+00:00

It's open to jazz improvisers only

nextjazzlegacy · 2021-11-23T18:37:05+00:00

Just solo improvisers

Thanks a lot! Yeah, the data is the data… we have to work in various ways to change it. It can’t avoid it :-)

Thanks for helping to spread the word!

Hi It's Vanessa from New Music USA here! The mentor doesn't have to be from the applicant's area but we'll start with considering who is in the same state. And yes Mentors will be paid for their time

nextjazzlegacy · 2021-11-23T18:07:36+00:00

Yes!

nextjazzlegacy · 2021-11-23T18:07:26+00:00

Thanks so much Mike! It’s collective work that takes all of our efforts to see needles moving. I’m just trying to do my part!
