The term “jazz” evokes a specific image in our minds: one of sultry moods, dim, smoke-filled rooms, and the smooth, cooing sounds of pianos and saxophones. But jazz is as diverse as the city of Philadelphia itself–and what most people don’t realize is that jazz lived, and continues to live, a vibrant life here. Many individuals might argue that jazz in Philadelphia is dead, but the life of Philly jazz is far from over.
Aircheck: Philly Jazz Isn’t Dead features interviews and commentary from renowned Philadelphian-born musicians like Steve Tirpak and Kenny Gamble discussing jazz and its continued relevance in today’s musical landscape.
The short documentary was produced by students Monica Mejia, Shaelyn McGovern, Phil Dupont, and Devin Southard.
