Jazz Power Initiative, a non profit organization that provides music education at low or no cost to music lovers, celebrated their 20th anniversary.
It all began with a grant from Meet the Composer/New Music for Schools and funding from the Louis Armstrong Education Foundation, which was awarded to Eli Yamin. It wasn’t until 2017 that it became Jazz Power Initiative and a permanent program in schools and the communities of Northern Manhattan. At this year’s reception, the organization honored three supporters that have greatly contributed to achieve their mission of serving thousands of New Yorkers in Northern Manhattan.
