Jazz4Justice raises public awareness and funds for Legal Aid and music scholarships through collaborative partnerships.
The extraordinary history of Jazz music has direct ties with our Justice system. Jazz music and those who played critical roles in its development helped promote racial equality and social consciousness before, during, and after the Civil Rights Movement. The Greater Richmond Bar Foundation’s (GRBF) 10th Annual Jazz4Justice™ Concert will acknowledge the Justice Gap that still exists while showcasing great Jazz music by VCUarts students.
This year’s concert features two-time GRAMMY-nominated vocalist, songwriter, and activist René Marie with the VCU Jazz Orchestra and Jazz4Justice Scholarship Sextet. The program includes swing classics and the premiere of exciting new big band arrangements of René’s songs by VCU Jazz Faculty Taylor Barnett, Antonio Garcia, Trey Pollard, and Doug Richards.
