On Wednesday, April 25 at 7:30 pm , the Education Committee will present James Ketterer, Bard College's Dean of International Studies, who will talk about how the U.S. Government has used jazz, the quintessential American art form, as a way to connect with audiences around the world.
The impact on both the jazz musicians who traveled for the U.S. and their audiences make for a fascinating story.
Ketterer served in Egypt as country director of the American program AMIDEAST and has taught at many colleges and universities throughout the U.S.
