Jazz in the Valley is a weekly musician and culture appreciation program focused on the phenomenal American musical expression style known as Jazz. Every week Jazz in the Valley will explore the roots and culture of a music that is a communication art between people. Simultaneously emotional, explosive, tender, and kind, jazz expresses as much variety as there are people who play it. Join us as we listen, discuss and celebrate as much jazz as we possibly can fit into a two-hour show.
