WELCOME TO
JOE'S JAZZ JOINT

The mission of Joe’s Jazz Joint is to produce interviews
with “Jazz” musicians and videos of performances directly
related to the history of “Jazz” in Atlanta Ga. Its goals include
increasing the knowledge about the musicians, venues,
clubs, schools, writers, promoters and other entities involved
in the evolution of Jazz music in Black Atlanta.
It is important that we document conversations with the
few elders that are still with us, who can provide their
experiences and influences as they learned and grew.This
rich and colorful information will provide us with much
knowledge about Jazz history in Atlanta.
The purpose is to expose our viewers to the history and
performance practices of this advanced form of music that
evolved from the African American experience.Through
interviews and performances we will enlighten our audiences
about the music, sometimes focusing on different areas and
related genres of music. As a result we will increase
knowledge about the value of this important American Art
form.
