Jazz Foundation of America's A GREAT NIGHT IN HARLEM Gala to Honor Herbie Hancock, 10/24

Jazz Foundation of America will host its 13th Annual "A GREAT NIGHT IN HARLEM" Gala Concert, honoring Herbie Hancock, on Friday, October 24, 8:30 PM at The Apollo Theater, 253 West 125th Street, NYC, featuring a rare combination of all-time legends and unknown gems from the worlds of jazz, blues R&B and rock.

We will be witnessing history as Herbie Hancock receives a Lifetime Achievement Award from Quincy Jones with special guest Bruce Willis. Herbie himself will lead an all-star tribute to our beloved trumpeter Clark Terry featuring Jimmy Heath (who's turning 88 that night!).

10-time GRAMMY winner Chaka Khan will pay homage to Maurice White (of Earth, Wind and Fire), and we will celebrate the life of the late, great Little Jimmy Scott with 7-time GRAMMY winner Al Jarreau.

As always, we will have seat-rocking talent from young gems like the soon-to-be-famous Cuban sensation Jorge Luis Pacheco and 13-year-old piano prodigy Matthew Whitaker, plus veterans like "The Soul of America" Charles Bradley, not to mention the wonderful surprises to be announced as we get closer to "Showtime!"

For 25 years, the Jazz Foundation of America has been keeping jazz and blues alive by helping the musicians who played with everyone from Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday to Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. We now assist in more than 5,000 cases a year, nationwide.

OUR PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
•Preventing homelessness and evictions by paying rents and mortgages
•Creating work through our Agnes Varis Jazz in the Schools Program,
which reaches thousands of inner city public school children
across America every year
•Providing free medical care and operations through our angels
at Englewood Hospital & Medical Center
•Being there with our Musicians' Emergency Fund
when illness, hunger, accident or other crisis strikes

Our efforts since Hurricane Katrina have helped over 1,000 of New Orleans' most beloved musicians find work and new homes for their families. Thanks to the Agnes Varis Trust, hundred of these artists continue to perform every month. Whatever the need is, we don't just fix the problem... we heal it with dignified solutions and love.
