Of course #blacklivesmatter “Jazz music embodies

Of course #blacklivesmatter “Jazz music embodies the black struggle. Black people may have legally become people in the United States in the mid-late 1800s, but they weren't seen or treated as people by a majority of the population of the country for another century after that and still suffer under severe global oppression to this day. Furthermore, they were cut off from African culture after centuries of enslavement underneath the feet of colonial european oppressors. When you're cut off from your culture, you create your own culture and this is where Jazz comes from. The masters of this great music weren't immune to prejudice or oppression, in fact even Miles Davis - someone who was widely respected for his music - suffered beatings at the hands of white oppressors outside the club of his own gig. If you make money with your fancy college degree teaching or performing this music and you don't use your privilege to advocate for change and to stand with your black peers, you are spitting on the legacy of this music” - Julian Jayme

So here we are, in a situation a few months ago none of us predicted. At this time we are cancelling the 2020 edition of the South Delta Jazz Festival and student workshop. We are sad that we will not be able offer this program this year and we will miss seeing all of you and sharing and making music together with you. We hope to remount the festival in the summer of 2021. Until then, keep strong, keep safe. -Stephen
