SBS faculty Tyina Steptoe (History) and Derrais Carter (GWS) along with Neto Portillo will speak about the cultural and historical importance of jazz over time both locally and nationally. Tucson-area jazz musicians, including local high school jazz bands, will delight the audience with performances.
