"Some of Richmond's best jazz musicians are jamming to fight ALS" -- WTVR (August 5, 2024)
​
"Shape of Jazz To Come" by Peter McElhinney (Style Weekly)
 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a rapidly progressive disease that causes muscle weakness, difficulty speaking and swallowing and, generally, complete paralysis. In most cases, while the body continues to deteriorate, the mind remains unaffected. The disease does not discriminate, striking any age, gender and race. Every 90 minutes, someone in the US is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes, someone in the US dies of ALS. There is no known cure for ALS and, once diagnosed, patients typically live only three to five years. 
​Mingus Awareness Project concerts have been presented since 2007 -- in Richmond, VA (Balliceaux, The Basement, The Camel, CenterStage Rhythm Hall, Ember Music Hall and Firehouse Theatre); Charlottesville, VA (The Front Porch); and the Chicago area (Velvet Lounge, FitzGerald’s, Jazz Showcase, Hideout, HotHouse and Martyrs’).

Thanks to the audience members, artists, presenters and other supporters who have been making Mingus Awareness Project concerts possible over the years!
