A message from our President
I am a former dancer who was fortunate enough to marry Russ Freeman, jazz pianist/composer who carried me into the wonderful world of Jazz. As former President of Vegas Jazz I have moved on to preside over my own nonprofit American Jazz Initiative. Our goals are to present and celebrate jazz music and musicians through performances throughout the United States, as well as impacting new generations of performers and lifelong audience members through outreach and education, while contributing to the cultural life of Southern Nevada.
I also produce Nathan Tanouye and the Las Vegas Jazz Connection. A 27 piece orchestra committed to bringing the finest musicians and new experiences to our audiences. I have been fortunate to have "danced" my way through life and have no regrets other than I do miss Russ everyday. As Russ wrote "Music is forever...." - Carolyn Freeman
