Jazz Ain't Dead "Halloween Edition" Boogie Man Swing Commemorative Program 2021

Robin Bell-Stevens,
Jazzmobile Director & Executive Producer
Jazzmobile's mission is to present, preserve, promote
and propagate America's classical music, Jazz. We
achieve this through our core programs: Summerfest,
Lecture Demonstrations (in schools, museums and
senior centers) and Saturday Jazz Workshops and
special presentations in concert halls, night clubs,
churches and other venues.
We are the first U.S. not-for-profit arts and cultural
organization created with a mission just for Jazz. Since
the beginning, we have been bringing high quality Jazz
performances and Jazz education programs to area
residents, tourists and other visitors. We have also
toured nationally and internationally. Under the banner
of the 'Super Jazz Band' Produced by Jazzmobile we
have toured the United States and cities in Europe and
Japan. Since the beginning, we have reached diverse
audiences, exceeding 4,000,000.
Jazzmobile was founded in 1964 by National
Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, pianist, Dr. Billy
Taylor and philanthropist and arts administrator, Ms.
Daphne Arnstein. Together NEA Jazz Master Jimmy
Heath and Dr. Taylor founded our core programs and
since the beginning, we have been bringing high quality Jazz performances and education programs.
1921-1922 we are celebrating Dr. Billy Taylor’s 100 th Birthday!
Whether on the street, in a park or at a major concert hall here or abroad, Jazzmobile works in
partnership with like-minded organizations to present world-class Jazz performances that enrich the
culture and imbue new life into the surrounding area.
Our workshops, master classes, lecture demonstrations, and arts enrichment programs train and
inform the next generation of Jazz vocalists, musicians and audiences, while also exposing youth to
this vibrant art form. For jazz aficionados and other enthusiasts, our panel discussions increase the
knowledge of our many adult followers. Our primary aim is to reach out to communities where Jazz
was nurtured, and new forms of this music are born.
We are very proud of being an inspiration to other organizations such as The Manchester Craftsman's
Guild in Pennsylvania and New York City’s Jazz at Lincoln Center.
