The Jazz Foundation of America operates the Jazz Musicians' Emergency Fund (JMEF). This fund assists struggling jazz artists, many of whom are getting older or sick, with medical, financial, and career development needs. They are masters in their fields, but without help, many would be homeless or unable to work.

They have no pensions. They have no health insurance. They are sometimes too sick to work. They are sometimes even homeless. They are older now, and the phone doesn't ring like it used to, making the rent impossible to pay. They are the jazz musicians who pioneered this great art form. And they need us now.

NOTE: some CDs may not be available. We reserve the right to send a compatible Latin Jazz CD at random from the above artists or other as a thank you gift for your donation. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery.
