“Jazz speaks for life. The blues tell the story of life’s difficulties, and if you think for a moment you will realized that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph.” – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s opening address to the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival.
