A Whirlwind Week Of Jazz

The mission of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz is to offer public school-based jazz education programs for young people around the world, helping students develop imaginative thinking, creativity, curiosity, a positive self image, and a respect for their own and others' cultural heritage.

The Institute's, highly regarded Jazz in America programs are tailored for middle schooland high school students to help develop an understanding and appreciation of jazz music. The series has traveled to over 20 states over the last two years and strives to share the positive aspects of jazz with young people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn about this great national treasure.

CareySound was honored to be asked to provide production for the series as it traveled through North Carolina this last week. It was six stops in five days. A scaled down Cobra system with a Dynacord CMS mixer, EV Sx300 monitors and KT equalization provided quick setup and flawless performance in a variety of venues.
