Jazz fellowship honors musicians struggling financially

Season 2025 Episode 170 | 8m 03s

Unless you’re a longtime jazz aficionado, you might only know the names and music of a handful of stars and legends. But what about all those who’ve built a life working in this art form? A new fellowship honors them and offers financial support in their final years of music and life. Jeffrey Brown has the story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
