Houston Jazz Collective a Collaboration of Art and Music

Houston Jazz Collective is an organization that incorporates the genres of music and art featuring major talents to pay tribute to accomplished jazz musicians. Past events have included outstanding Houston-based jazz musicians such as Frank Lacy, Kirk Whalum, Billy Harper, Bob Dorough, and Chris Dave paying tribute to Arnet Cobb. In this year's events Shelly Carrol paying tribute to John Coltrane and supreme love. The Houston Jazz Collective combines performances with outreach programs “The Houston Center for After School Jazz Programs”. The program exposes youth to the arts through a jazz curriculum that educates giving them the understanding of jazz in the original form. Their vision is cultivating expanded minds as well as creating a lasting impression that will hopefully leave a beautiful culturally rich memory of jazz.
