The world is a poem and it sounds like jazz: the horns of the buses, the chimes on the playgrounds, the drumming of laughter on the street corner.

Jazz:Community is a sonic expression of the shared experience of being in community. Being in community, as in moving through neighborhood streets, as in coming together because of love, determination, knowledge, as in knowing the boundaries that tell us where we are. 

The project is a process that seeks to answer: What does the experience of being in/with community sound like? What does it make us feel? What influences inform and steal from the sonic landscapes we inhabit?

The project is a meditation on how our worlds all come together. As a gathering, Jazz:Community creates the container for deep inquiry on the experience of community. It asks the participant to listen and connect to what makes you/this place come alive. The request is to take that sense of aliveness with you and give it legs.
