JAM – Jazz at the Movies April 29th
In celebration of International Jazz Day, WMPG’s Jazz At the Movies (JAM) will be showing the film “Blue Note Records- Beyond the Notes” on Saturday April 29th at the Portland Conservatory of Music. This movie is about the Blue Note Record label, but it is more about the Blue Note founders and the chemistry between them and the great musicians that recorded on this label. This is truly a case where the musicians made the record label what it became because the owners gave them the freedom to create. It is proof that great things happen when creative people connect through music and freedom of expression.
