Three high schools – one in Detroit, one in Chicago, and one in Fort Worth – did a truly epic job in keeping the jazz genius pipeline full in the middle 20th century.
We’re almost certainly missing important schools in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New York City and probably some other places are well.
If you’ve got a high school list, please send it to us and we’ll add it to this page. Send to ken AT jazzonthetube DOT com

Jazz on the Tube interviews Professor Stephen Porges.
Here’s how the theory looks in practice
Duke Ellington’s “Black and Tan Fantasy” by the 2014 Beloit Memorial High School Jazz Band at the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center New York.
Question: Shouldn’t all children have access to quality music education?
Discuss among yourselves.
Sheila Jordan “talks” about her education in music and she and the band demonstrate the incomparable social engagement power of music.

Where to send help
The Hispanic Federation
This organization founded in 1990 has a clearly defined program for bringing and distributing emergency aid throughout Puerto Rico.
They are well organized, committed, focused on Puerto Rico, and in it for the long haul.
Charity Navigator which rates charities on fiscal responsibility and transparency has rated this group 95.47 out of a possible 100 which is the equivalent of AAA+ in the non-profit accountability world.

Some facts
1. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and have been since 1917.
2. The U.S. government has the material, personnel, transportation, infrastructure and expertise to address this situation on a massive and rapid scale. That it has not done so is a decision based on the assumption by those in control of these public resources that there will be no political consequences for failing to do so.
If you disagree with this deliberate government policy of minimal emergency aid, please contact your political representatives and tell them you want to see meaningful help for the people of Puerto Rico.
