Jazz!

"It began in a revolutionary way and has remained revolutionary.
The very idea is still astounding.  A team of musicians, with very
little written music and depending on very little repetition, can
create something right on the spot.  Fresh.  Pull it out of the air,
polishing it as it arrives.

Jazz is also the music of hope because it proves that we can count
on the human being, we can trust in the collaborators to make the
best decision right now and in almost every tomorrow.  Jazz means
we can improvise with individuality and empathy, we can be
ourselves while paying attention to others and by counting on
them.  We can play.  In our playing we can prove that the ultimate
human solution is always some kind of elevated creation.

So jazz challenges what we mean in an era so dominated by special
effects because jazz musicians understand that, when all the hot air
of talking is done, the truest special effect in the arts is always the
human being.  The human being is the one who understands and
who wants to be understood.  Therefore, jazz, so dependent on the
flesh and blood special effect, the deeply human, always speaks
across every barrier.  Jazz accepts no divisions in the realm of
understanding.  It makes the moment better because, if the moment
is an empty bag, jazz fills it with the gifts of feeling and artistry,
offered to all, received by any."
