JFK & Jazz: Solo Piano Livestream | Nov 22 at 1 PM PST

Описание: Join me for a special tribute to JFK on the anniversary of his passing. Discover the untold story of how President Kennedy championed jazz musicians and worked to heal rather than punish artists struggling with addiction.

🎹 What You'll Experience:

-Contemplative solo jazz piano performance
-The story of JFK's 1963 pardon of legendary pianist Hampton Hawes
-How Kennedy brought Clifford Brown's music into the White House
-A president who understood jazz as America's art form

JFK wasn't just a champion of civil rights and peace—he showed compassion to jazz musicians when they needed it most, granting clemency to artists like Hampton Hawes who were criminalized for addiction rather than given treatment.
This livestream honors his vision of a more understanding America through the language of jazz.
