All That Jazz

April is Jazz Appreciation Month so we’re closing out the month with Jazz Festivals, Jazz Cities and Best Jazz Spots around the world. When I thought to do this topic, I immediately thought of Maxx Myrick, an award winning air personality, radio programmer and content expert with over 40 years of experience providing content on local and national levels. And, a lover of Jazz.

One Jazz Festival we’ve traveled for, for many years is the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in Cape Town South Africa. I have the pleasure of chatting with Billy Domingo, Chief Operating Officer of the CTIJF and is one of South Africa’s most respected and successful entertainment industry professionals. Domingo’s résumé includes a true Who’s Who of show business, having worked with some of the world’s most famous artists and biggest stage productions in the world.

The Culture Report – The National Museum of African American Music Part 2

“Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food and sometimes politics and strife.”

Music is one of the most influential and immersive cultural experiences. I’m excited to chat with Tuwisha D. Rogers-Simpson, Vice President of Brand and Partnerships at the National Museum of African American Music. The National Museum of African American Music, located in Nashville, Tennessee showcases the musical genres inspired, created, or influenced by African-Americans. I can’t wait to visit the museum and explore the seven galleries, more than 25 interactive touchpoints, and more than 1500 artifacts!
