For this week's Community Hero, JohnBDias introduces us to a New Jersey woman who is inspiring young people through jazz and making it more accessible for all.
campaign, we introduce a New Jersey woman who is paving the path for future jazz artists.
Jazz House Kids is the only community arts group in New Jersey -- and now in New York City -- exclusively dedicated to educating children through jazz. "Jazz harnesses empathy, it harnesses creativity, improvisation," said Walker."Quite frankly, I think jazz really harnesses the things that kids need in the 21st century." The community also reaps the benefits, as Jazz House produces the town's annual Montclair Jazz Festival every August. But it's always the classroom Walker keeps in mind, and the kids who pass through it, like 19-year-old Ellah Brown.
