Justice For Jazz Artists!

Dear Club Owner,

I urge you to help stop the exploitation of jazz musicians. Respecting the artistry of jazz musicians means offering a fair pay scale, pension contributions, protection of recording rights and a grievance process to address abuses. In these ways, jazz clubs can show their esteem for the men and women who sustain this great American art form.
