In this ministry, we open our sanctuary as a venue for the community of talented jazz musicians and their supporters from around the Washington area. The players are organized by one of DC’s most experienced jazz organizers, Mr. Dick Smith. Every Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m. Jazz Night in Southwest attracts large crowds of people from all over the metropolitan area. A real community of people has converged around Jazz Night. We share fellowship and affirm the fact that this is a powerful communal and spiritual experience -- that God loves Jazz and rejoices with us in our expressions of love and life. Jazz night is catered by the SW Catering Company.
Blue Monday Blues - 6:00 pm (every Monday)
Blue Monday Blues is a project of Southwest Renaissance Development Corporation launched in 2006. It welcomes a great many of the area's finest electric, down-home artists to lead incredible live performances every Monday evening without any exception.
The BLUES is a truly great American art form. With distinct influences from African, Caribbean and Southern origins it has expressed the passions of people very familiar with adversity and hardship. Perhaps this is why it has such a compelling appeal: the very common human experience of transcending these difficulties and reclaiming a new harmony. Blues is anything but sorrowful; it leaves you with a renewed sense of vitality and offers a new way of seeing things.
We hope you will enjoy these experiences and find something inspiring every time you come.

Pharoah Sanders (born October 13, 1940) is a Grammy Award-winning American jazz saxophonist.
Saxophonist Ornette Coleman once described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world." Emerging from John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s Sanders is known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound." Sanders is an important figure in the development of free jazz; Albert Ayler famously said: "Trane was the Father, Pharoah was the Son, I am the Holy Ghost

Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington

I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.
It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is~~
Hahahaha...Yeah, Diz you hit the nail on the head. Tell it like it is...

The Top 50 Releases of 2012/JazzTimes/February issue 2013
If you combined all Top 50 releases in terms of hard copy sales. Would it amount to 250,000 units sold, 300,000 sold? And what's wrong with Jazz radio or what's left of it? Billboard Jazz Charts for April 6, 2013 has Madeleine Peyroux "The Blue Room" @#1. Yet on the Jazz Week Charts for April 8, 2013 Peyroux is not even in the Top 50.
Man that's how I dig…
