Happy Holidays! The Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit jazz education program for teenagers, has a perfect way for you to get a unique holiday gift for someone (or for yourselfJ) while supporting a great cause…the future of jazz!
“Cookin’ with the CCJA” is our new, hot-off-the-press, cookbook.

This doesn’t exactly sound like a typical “jazz” endeavor, but we’ve made it as jazzy as possible! The book features food recipes from local jazz musicians and members of the Denver jazz community, as well as some CCJA alumni, faculty, and board members. In addition, each of the contributors has given their “recipe for success,” which is words of wisdom and advice for music, life, or both. As a special addition, we also have such words of wisdom from internationally acclaimed musicians, just for this book, such as Lewis Nash, Arturo Sandoval, John Clayton, Maria Schneider, Michel Camilo, Gordon Goodwin, Patti Austin, Sean Jones, Tom Harrell, and more. These recipes for success are truly inspiring! The book also has great photos throughout, and 37 delicious, unique recipes, many of which have been handed down through families for generations. Some of them have actually been created just for this book, by musicians who like to improvise in the kitchen as well. We’ve been trying them at home, and they are fantastic!

Please go to (www.jazzarts.org ) and find an order form with more information, including how to order it online or through the mail. Please consider purchasing one as a gift or for yourself, and help us keep the jazz alive for kids. Proceeds will benefit our youth programs, as well as help provide scholarships for deserving students. Feel free to
pass this on to others who might be interested in supporting the cause as well!

Wishing you the best in 2009!
