Martin Luther King once wrote “Jazz speaks for life”.Jazz was born in the deep south. Now it lives in every corner of the globe, embracing all; the familiar and the strange.Jazz can be brutal or gentle, demanding or kind, but it’s never false. Jazz is the truth.That’s Phil James’ philosophy of Jazz. Join him every Monday afternoon for a look at jazz both classic and modern.To contact Philosophy of Jazz email us at philosophyofjazz@eastsidefm.org
