NEA Jazz Masters
Okay kiddo, do you like music? Have you ever heard of jazz? It's a kind of music that has been around for a really long time and it's really cool. People play different instruments like trumpets, saxophones and drums and they kinda chat with each other through their instruments, making really interesting sounds.
Now, there are some very special people called NEA Jazz Masters. They are like the big bosses of jazz music. They are musicians who have been playing jazz for a really long time and other people really look up to them.
Every year, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) picks some really amazing jazz musicians and gives them an award called the NEA Jazz Masters Award. It's like the Oscars or Grammy Awards for jazz musicians. These musicians are really good at playing jazz and they've made a big impact on the world of music.
Some NEA Jazz Masters are still alive and making music, like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. Others have passed away but their music lives on and still inspires people today. It's like they've left a really cool legacy for people to enjoy and learn from.
