Jazz is rooted in group vocal music. How do we know? Because Louis Armstrong said so.

In this conversation with author Stacy Horn we talk about the impact group singing has on the soul and she recounts the many community choir initiatives that used to be common in the 19th century.

We need to bring community singing back – especially for children. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be.
