JAZZ  FESTIVAL
 
 
 
"Is All About The Kids"

The Tony Williams Scholarship Jazz Festival 
is endorsed, supported and promoted by the
Council Of Jazz Advocates and BDG Enterprises.
 
This 23rd annual Tony Williams Scholarship Jazz Festival 
is established to provide college scholarships
 to selected students that have studied music
and particpated in programs through the
Mount Airy Cultural Center, Inc.  
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
 
The Mount Airy Cultural Center, Inc.
is a progam and agency that evolved from other programs
Tony Williams spearheaded, founded and led.
This program is grounded from a 50 year grass root
initiative to use the music genre of jazz to build esteem
and provide extended outlets to youth to enrich their
inner soul, intellect and creativity through music.
 
"The Tony Williams Scholarship Jazz Festival
is all about the young people."
