Dear Mr. Wynton Marsalis,
I am the Executive Director of the Fort Lauderdale Community Center. Broward county Florida is undergoing a cultural evolution. In Broward County we have dozens of performing arts centers and theaters as well as museums. I am on several cultural boards and committees and we are currently looking for a direction for our music venues as well as places of expression for local artists. We are currently working on our 10-year arts plan for the county. I believe that broward county is a Jazz county, as our classical listeners age and died. We are left with beautiful venues that need musicians and artist to fill. I believe that music should be Jazz. We are kicking off a series of concert in several of the venues in Broward. The first at the coral springs cultural center in March-April of next year. With your help we can turn broward county into a Jazz haven for musicians to practice their trade and get exposure. Please consider coming as an ambassador for the proliferation of Jazz.
