FROM ITS INCEPTION, HEALDSBURG JAZZ FESTIVAL HAS PLACED GREAT EMPHASIS ON CREATING MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT EXPOSE YOUTH TO JAZZS HISTORY & VALUES. OPERATION JAZZ BAND HAS INTRODUCED THOUSANDS OF 5TH GRADE STUDENTS TO THE LIVING TRADITION OF JAZZ BY BRINGING PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS, LED BY BAY AREA PERCUSSIONIST & EDUCATOR, BABATUNDE LEA, INTO THE CLASSROOMS. THE MUSICIANS SPEND AN INTENSE WEEK IN 6 AREA SCHOOLS CULMINATING IN A FIELD TRIP CONCERT WHICH ALL SCHOOLS ATTEND TOGETHER. BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 3 THRU 6. IT IS A 3 PART PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES 9 SCHOOL LECTURE DEMONSTRATIONS, A CONCERT FIELD TRIP AND AN AFTER SCHOOL STUDENT CHOIR & BAND THAT PERFORMS BEFORE THEIR PEERS AT A STUDENT CONCERT. ALL BENEFITS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNREALIZED GIVEN THE LACK OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN OUR SCHOOLS.
OVER THE DECADES, JAZZ HAS DEMONSTRATED A SINGULAR CAPACITY TO BRIDGE CULTURAL GAPS AND BRING PEOPLE OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TOGETHER IN A POSITIVIE AND PRODUCTIVE ATMOSHERE. HJF BRINGS ARTISTS TO HEALDSBURG DURING THE YEAR CELEBRATING MUSICS CAPACITY TO SERVE AS A UNIFYING FORCE IN A DIVERSE SOCIETY.
