by Stacy M. BrownJuly 18, 2024July 18, 2024

The Apollo Theater has been honored by the Kennedy Center for its 90 years of impact on American culture and its role as a hub for Black culture and creativity.

The annual “Jazz Informance” recently occurred at the US Department of Education in D.C. This event was a joint effort with the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz with an ensemble that included Ben Sherman on tenor sax, trumpeter and mentor Sean Jones, Quinn Rehkemper on alto sax, pianist José André Montaño, mentor and bassist Ed Hrybyk, and Julian Frazier on drums.
