The Jazz Poetry Ensemble^TM

is a loose affiliation of progressive musical, literary, video, graphic, audio, organizational, and electronic artists committed to social justice and human rights. Our mission is to deliver a message of hope, determination and strength that inspires people to work for social justice, equal rights, and human dignity.

The Black President Suite is our latest program. It is a celebration of a great moment in our history. It is a worthy addition to Freedom is A Constant Struggle and Vote For Me.

Make Jazz Not War^TM is a metaphor for working together for progress, instead of despoiling our cultures and our environment.

Funding has been made possible by the Puffin Foundation.
