Dear Friends,You may have already heard that our son and brother, Nathan Ingram III, passed away suddenly of a heart attack on January 14, 2012 at his home in Fukushima, Japan. He was 61 years old. Nathan had been sharing and teaching the beauty and uplifting power of African-American art and culture in Japan for two decades. Nathan is survived by three sons, Nathan IV (age 22, US); Dorian (age 3 1/2 , Japan); and Neuboi (age 10 months, Japan); his mother, Doris Ingram; siblings Ruth Craigen, Germaine Ingram, Kevin Ingram, Karen Ingram-Brown, and Karl Ingram, and several nephews, nieces, grand-nieces, cousins, and an aunt. Anyone who wishes to contribute to a memorial fund to help support the needs of Nathan's three children can make a tax-deductible contribution online or by writing a check to the Nathan Ingram III Memorial Fund and sending it c/o Jazz Bridge, 3008 Limekiln Pike, Glenside, PA 19038.
Thanks,

Appearing at the Collingswood Community Center on March 1st will be drummer J. Jody Janetta and Adelante, featuring Paul "Woz" Woznicki on piano, synths, and flute and Stephen Testa on bass. 
Drummer J. Jody Janetta is the founding member of Adelante, a group that fuses jazz, improvisational music, world/folk traditions, contemporary, classical, and ambient/electronic music. Janetta has performed with top people and groups, including saxophonist Elliot Levin, singer Paul Jost, the Nubian Percussion and Dance Ensemble, Equinox, and Solstice World Music Ensemble. But to experience the music of Adelante is to be taken on an aural journey that touches mind, body and spirit. Adelante is rooted in the improvisational approaches of Modern Jazz, but the group creates a musical brew that knows no musical boundaries, relishing in the challenge that all musical styles can be complimentary and woven together to create something musically and sonically beautiful, new and unique. It's been said that listening to Adelante is like "hearing a rainbow".

Just wanted to say another big thank you to all of our long time volunteers and board members who have put in so many long hours making Jazz Bridge what it is today! |
From Wendy's Desk . . . 
I've been working on our 990 form for the IRS and saw some wonderful things as the numbers shook out. Jazz Bridge did pretty well last year! In our 2010/2011 fiscal year, Jazz Bridge spent $25,181 on musicians in need (up from the $17,530 we spent the previous fiscal year)! We also put $15,038 into the pockets of the musicians who played our Neighborhood Concerts and fundraisers last season (up from $10,358 last year)! Yes, we're still small by most standards, but we've come a long way and done a lot of good thanks to everyone in the community! |
