Featured Organizer
Originally established to further the late saxophonist Skipp Pearson’s lifelong mission “to foster a greater appreciation of live jazz music performances,” the Skipp Pearson Jazz Legacy Foundation’s all-volunteer staff works to support live concerts in South Carolina venues throughout the year. By spreading the unique experience of live jazz, the Foundation seeks to foster greater cultural literacy, and ultimately quality of life, in the communities where it works. True to Pearson’s vision, the live performances the Foundation supports are meant not only to entertain, but to promote dialogue and connect South Carolinians through the power of music. In honor of International Jazz Day 2018, the Foundation is producing the first annual International Jazz Week across the state of South Carolina.Read More
