Fantastic read from NPR highlithing Philadelphia Clef Club, Nasir Dickerson, Jamal Dickerson and Hassan Sabree, The Kimmel Center’s Creative Music Program and the Settlement Music School:
The legacy of Philadelphia jazz is traced to several incubators of jazz talent that have nurtured and cultivated promising young musicians representing the genre’s future. These programs maintain a positive buzz with youth in the region who embrace the opportunity to receive training, gain experience and build confidence. Programs and institutions vary in size, location and target market, but all are offered in an environment that encourages participants to blossom and jazz educators to embrace Philadelphia’s legacy and music innovation.
