HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH JAZZ VIDEO CONTEST “How I Fell in Love with Jazz” is Savage Content’s international video story-sharing contest where we invite jazz enthusiasts, musicians and fans alike, to share with us, in a short video form, how they fell in love with jazz. Music has the incredible power to move us, to inspire us, to stir us up, and to bring us joy, peace and tranquility. Jazz music occupies a very special place in the universe and in our hearts. It is an international art form, a language and a platform for personal expression, creativity and spontaneity. Jazz is created “in the moment” and yet, it remains timeless. The range of jazz idioms and styles is vast, yet its interpretation creates a unique and extremely personal connection between artists and listeners, unlike that of any other form of artistic expression. So, we want to know: How did you fall in love with Jazz?

NO REGRETS: THE MUSIC AND SPIRIT OF BILLIE HOLIDAY is an in-depth audio podcast series exploring Holiday's musical genius and legacy. Presented in 13 hour-long episodes, No Regrets examines the musician's early life, the evolution of her singing style and how her haunting rendition of "Strange Fruit" played a vital role in the birth of the Civil Rights movement that changed her life. The focus throughout will be on Holiday's singular musical artistry, her independent spirit, how her unique approach to her music became one of the strongest influences in the evolution of jazz, and how she continues to influence performers today. No Regrets is produced by public radio veteran Steve Robinson who has been creating, producing and developing radio programming for over 50 years. It is written by renowned jazz journalist Willard Jenkins (Down Beat, Jazz Times, Inside Arts, All About Jazz). The script is culled from years of Linda Kuehl’s interview footage along with new interviews with Angela Davis, Cassandra Wilson, Beth Roars and more.
