Year Of Jazz Continues in 2012
The calendar may now say 2012, but it still is the Year of Jazz at KRTU-FM 91.7, Trinity's listener- supported radio station.
The celebration is a unique collaboration between KRTU and several arts and cultural organizations in San Antonio. Each month a different organization hosts a jazz themed event at their venue.
If the first three events are any indication, variety will be a major theme for the Year of Jazz. The kick-off held in October was an all-day event held at the Sunken Gardens Theater in Brackenridge Park and featured a reading by San Antonio mayor Julián Castro, and the world premiere of the San Antonio Jazz Suite.
The second event in November was more intimate: a concert by Mexican jazz pianist Olivia Revueltas held at the Instituto Cultural de Mexico. Revueltas told the audience stories from her life and of her love of jazz at the standing room only event.
In December, the third event was the staging of El Corrido de Chuy, an original local production, with live jazz accompaniment, performed by Teatro Alaz, the theatre group at Say Si, an organization serving San Antonio's youth.
