I sat down with Jeffrey Brown for @pbsnewshour to talk about Jazz at Lincoln Center’s “JazzCall for Freedom” project and the enduring connection between jazz and democracy.
Members of the @jazzdotorg Orchestra, Alexa Tarantino and Chris Lewis, also joined the conversation.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights.
What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Our democracy is under relentless attack from abiding political polarization, deep cultural fragmentation, and a rising movement towards authoritarianism. In times of such uncertainty throughout American history, jazz has spoken in a clear voice to reaffirm democratic values.
Jazzcall for Freedom answers that familiar call through a coherent civic response.
Jazzcall for Freedom advances the proposition that jazz continues to be one of America’s most powerful models for democratic practice. Jazz at Lincoln Center believes that culture and civics are intertwined. For four decades we have spoken jazz as a living civic language capable of addressing division, modeling pluralism, and sustaining democratic imagination without partisanship – and our message has been embraced.
Jazzcall for Freedom is our civic contribution at a moment of deep division in our country.
