"Catch a musician here (The Jazz Gallery, Salt Space, 1160 Broadway) and chances are you’ll start seeing him/her everywhere—headlining the Village Vanguard like pianist David Virelles or winning a MacArthur grant like saxophonist Miguel Zenon." - NEW YORK MAGAZINE'S BEST OF 2013
Mentorship has always been a key theme in jazz history. For decades, elder musicians groomed promising young jazz musicians - taking them on the road, into the recording studio and into one-on-one study. Most of today's great jazz musicians were raised through these informal channels and gained invaluable experience working with their heroes. Future generations of great quality jazz depends upon continuing this tradition that is, regrettably, less common in today's music scene. Touring revenues are down and there are fewer places for jazz musicians to perform.
