Internal Grant Proposal
NEA JAZZ MASTERS FELLOWSHIP- is bestowing 25,000 to eligible Jazz Musicians
http://arts.gov/honors/jazz/nomination
For eligibility I must contact Katja von Schuttenbach who is the Jazz specialist of the NEA JAZZ MASTERS FELLOWSHIPS NATIONAL ENDOWMENT for the ARTS. I would need to showcase a body of work or something that can how long impact over the Jazz community as a whole.
I am interested in the NEA Jazz Masters Grant for funding my Jazz album in the near future. I am from Jacksonville, Florida currently studying under the leadership of John Ricci in the Jazz department at Jacksonville University. This would go towards a project that would be a collaborated album with both acoustic and electronic instruments and this grant would help cover the cost of expenses of purchase of instruments and additional microphones. My music is versatile, forward thinking, and has longevity that can inspire and influence all who listen.
