I think it's an important aspect of life that we be able to have that sense of community. I like to see it happen throughout the country. That songs can be written that celebrate the features that people like most about their town.

While [jazz] students are a first priority, we get a nice mix of students and community members at our shows.

As a psychiatrist, as a human, as a musician, I know how music can bring people together. In this case, to give a sense of community so that children will learn a song about their city that they will know and sing the rest of their lives.

We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own. One of the interesting things is that whites discriminated against blacks. Blacks never discriminated against whites, and so they were always welcome.

We get pushed very hard by our development community in this area but we think that we're just scratching the surface with what can be built. The overall business benefit is around linking projects more closely together and allowing people to move around information a lot more intelligently.
