Peace and love to all!

From the beginning, Dedication has been an outlet for education and the preservation of the Black American classical art form most commonly known as “Jazz”. An art form which has circled the global many times, picking up additional flavors and angles of expression everywhere it has spread, but always at its core, it represents what every human soul yearns for: freedom.

Whether we’re blasting off with fierce notes from John Coltrane, or gently swaying in the breeze on the shores of Brazil, Dedication will be showcasing the music from all sides. Focused on playing songs in full with meticulous sequencing over the course of 60 minutes, we hope you will enjoy the sounds and become encouraged to dig deeper! With this month's mix, we highlight Latin themes. Enjoy!
