ABOUT KEYNOTE JAZZ
Keynote Jazz Company is a 501 (c) (3) California nonprofit public benefit corporation established to promote the advancement, education and interest in jazz music, and to select worthy candidates for and award merit scholarships to individual musicians in Jazz field.
We begin by introducing professional live jazz groups to elementary and high schools, allowing the students to meet with, listen to and interact with jazz musicians. Since each of these artists is well known by their recordings, we are able in most cases to give the student a copy of their latest CD or provide down-load information so they can have continued interest in the music. See the attached for a partial list of professional jazz recording artists we have on call for school appearances and private tutoring.
We also provide assistance to the schools, such as instruments, music charts and arrangements for jazz band etc. See the attached letter we send to school principals and music directors.
Budget cuts are hitting school music departments everywhere. A recent Harris Interactive poll of high school principals revealed that high schools with music programs have an 18% higher graduation rate. The Fender Music Foundation website lists 15 studies which conclude that music stimulates the human brain, improving not only academic skills but cultural skills as well.
Jazz has an audience problem. Nationally our jazz audience is aging. When one visits jazz clubs in London, Amsterdam and Milan you see a much younger audience often listening to American jazz artists. Many respected educators believe that Europe is well ahead of us in providing students with early exposure to the arts.
Sadly, our National Public Radio reported on February 15, “National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award to disappear under the new Federal NEA Budget Plan”.
It is truly difficult to imagine in America, the birthplace of jazz, that the very last Jazz Masters Award would be given on the award’s 30th and final anniversary!
Our children can’t appreciate jazz if they never hear it. Promoters generally gravitate to larger audiences and that compounds the problem of jazz exposure. The real objective is to begin a grass roots appreciation of jazz through early exposure, education and finally promotion. If a student can demonstrate the ability, desire and determination, we will help them help themselves to become successful musicians, successful professionals, and a jazz audience.
PROJECTS
INTRODUCTION TO SCHOOLS
The first and most important objective we have is to present jazz to students at an early age. The following is a letter we send to elementary and high schools, addressed to the principals and music directors ( sent to each) because we find the music teachers/ directors are interested in the music whereas the principals are more concerned with budgets.
Dear Principal / Music Director,
Keynote Jazz Company is a California nonprofit corporation dedicated to the advancement of jazz music. We believe that every elementary and high school student should have the opportunity to experience this truly American art form live. We would like to offer to your school, at no cost, a one hour performance by a professional jazz group, possibly twice school, at no cost, a one hour performance by a professional jazz group, possibly twice during the year.
Please tell us how this could fit into your schedule of assemblies or music classes.
The best way to reach us is by e-mail at richard@keynotejazz.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
From this introduction letter we can set up a meeting at the school to determine what their interest level is, what facilities they have, and their needs. Some schools, while giving us the performance time, want us to donate something to the school. Amazingly, it is often not enough just to provide the musicians at no cost to them. If a music department is in place, they might need sound equipment, musical instruments, possibly an upright piano if none is available, or musical charts and arrangements for jazz band etc. Prior to the date of the assembly we send materials to the school describing the history of jazz, as truly an American art form and how it became part of our American heritage. These materials could be presented in a history or music class close to the date of the assembly.
Ideally, the visiting musicians can interact with the students after the performance, either in class or even after hours. We will always try to schedule 2 or 3 schools in a given city for the musicians to appear over a 2 or 3 day period to reduce the cost of transportation and lodging.
Usually, schools lucky enough to have a great music department are either private or are located in affluent areas. Unfortunately, a large number of schools have cut music budgets reducing the number of in-house music teachers. Some elementary schools rely entirely on “floating instrumental music teachers” who can cover say 6 or 8 schools at different periods of the day, so that each school pays a portion of the cost. The worst case is where music has been totally eliminated, and all too often this is the case in some inter-city schools. If a school has no music program, at least we can provide the listening experience for the students.

OBJECTIVES & DONATIONS
Of the 212 registered jazz societies in the US, only about 20% actively support jazz in the schools. Most of the programs in place are funded by membership dues, volunteer’s donations and concert revenues. We believe that the Loss Angeles Jazz Society, funded with foundation support, definitely has one of the best programs. They utilize the best professional musicians who appear in the schools with educational materials and great mentoring programs. We are prepared to offer this type of program to the remaining 80% who are without current programs. Our objective is to have 100 % participation in a jazz in schools program.
Existing annual jazz festivals provide the opportunity for us to meet with the festival’s music director and offer to provide funding for them to pay the artists they have already hired to do extra student classes, either in the local schools or at the festival venue, while the musicians are in town. The directors love this idea because it allows them to pay more money to the musicians without all of it coming out of their own budgets. We like it because it saves us transportation and hotel costs, and the end result is to give students a chance to interact with the best of musicians.
This year there are 130 jazz summer camps that charge from $300 to $700 per student for anywhere from 3 to 5 days attendance. They provide amazing interaction with professional jazz musicians, usually in a secluded rural atmosphere. Many students who could truly benefit from these camps unfortunately cannot afford the tuition. A few hundred dollars here can often open a world of opportunity for the student.
There is an even bigger benefit provided to us by these summer camps. It enables us to identify the most talented students. For elementary and junior high students, we can provide some of the cost of tutoring from professional jazz musicians. For the talented senior high students we can determine which of them would derive the most benefit from a college musical education. Further contact with these students will allow us to find out what their ambition is, which college or university would be best suited for study on their particular instrument and finally the extent of the financial assistance necessary to make attendance possible. Then we are able to fit a scholarship program to their individual situation. The scholarships will be renewed annually provided the student maintains a passing grade point average and stays in school.
Within the Continental United States there are over 100 colleges and universities offering jazz curriculum through BA degrees. A few even offer MA degrees in music with emphasis on jazz. The newest member is The University of California @ Los Angeles.
All of the connections we are able to establish with schools, jazz summer camps, jazz festivals and jazz societies are on-going and are updated on a regular basis.
DONATIONS
The U.S. Internal Revenue code allows us to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under sections 2055, 2106 and 2522. You can help provide our youth with one of the most treasured gifts this country has given to the world, the truly American art form, Jazz.

ARTICLES
By Gary Stix | April 28, 2011The riffs from this form of improvisational music may provide a window into the brain's creative processes
Your Brain on Jazz: Visualizing Creativity Video
Your Brain on Jazz: Visualizing Creativity Video
Charles Limb, a hearing and ear surgeon at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, studies jazz as a means of understanding what goes on "under the hood" when a musician is improvising. The Q&A in Scientific American's May issues queries Limb about the nature of his work. And this video expands on the insights in the interview through a seminar at Johns Hopkins, "Neural Mechanisms of Musical Improvisation," that Limb organized with jazz musicians Pat Metheny, Mike Pope and Marin Alsop, music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
