Night Two brings Stolen Moments: The First 100 Years of Jazz!

Stolen Moments is a thoroughly captivating and informative multi-media program that introduces audiences to jazz music's rich history and to the names, faces and music of some of its many masters.

JAZZREACH - Stolen Moments from JazzReach (2013).

On a broader level, Stolen Moments also highlights the interplay between the jazz movement and the evolution of American culture throughout the 20th Century, emphasizing the ways in which jazz has acted as a unifying force, bridging cultural, ethnic and economic differences; stimulated cultural fusions and new stylistic idioms; exemplified democratic ideals; and influenced other genres of music, both in the U.S. and abroad.
