Jazz for Peace's mission is to help advance people to their highest
potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace
through our "Jazz For Peace? Concerts" worldwide - joining forces (or
performing) with multi-cultural musicians to spread peace through the art
form of Jazz and entering regions that are politically controversial. By
the means of live concerts, video taping, on hands/on-line teaching as well
as supplying musical instruments to underprivileged children in under
developed areas worldwide, Jazz for Peace will re-enforce what past history
has proven - that the art form of Jazz has the ability to create a positive
effect that unites people and may eventually start to transform the
barriers and issues of different cultures and beliefs.  For more
