Our vision is to foster innovation in American Culture through Research & Development, Performance and Education in Jazz and related arts disciplines. Our think tank identifies today's leaders and emerging stars of the avant guard in jazz and showcases them to the world through recordings and performances. We also develop ways to foster tomorrow's creators and leaders through our education programs. By focusing on student created art we teach basic skills of learning and creative problem solving needed in a global society.
