We begin with a 30-minute training session for volunteers who have not done this work before. \nThis action is rooted in principles of cooperation\, empathy\, and collective action. Effective community care involves building networks of mutual support and empowering ourselves (community members!!) to meet our collective needs.

The Terraza Big Band features many of New York’s most in-demand jazz musicians and can be heard at venues throughout New York City in addition to its monthly residency at Terraza 7\, where the ensemble “injects a liberated\, interactive atmosphere into the bar…the audience was fully onboard\, but the ideas were entirely new” (New York Times). The band’s debut album\, One Day Wonder\, was released in May 2019 and received a Grammy nomination that year in the category of “Best Large Jazz Ensemble”. This recording was hailed by Jazz Timesas being “the sort of debut that should make big-band fans not only take notice but hunger for more.” \nAbout Michale Thomas: \nGrammy-winning saxophonist\, composer\, and arranger Michael Thomas has been an active member of the New York City jazz community since arriving in 2011.
