Segment 1: What do PILLOW FIGHTS and JAZZ music have in common here in El Paso?!
.
Amber Banda speaks with Candice Reyes, Founder and Director of The Jazz Exchange in El Paso, TX. After coming back from living on the east coast for 10 years and seeing the jazz scene in El Paso lacking, Candice and her husband Abel decided to create this organization to educate and entertain the public via jazz music. Amber and Candice talk about the differences between the jazz music scene in the east coast vs here in the Sun City, Candice's musical upbringing, and events coming up where people can be exposed to this amazing and often misunderstood form of music.
They also talk about an upcoming fundraiser, the Brew Battle Pillow Fight, with a stacked lineup of pillow fighters ready to fight and raise funds in the sake of JAZZ. The Jazz Exchange will also have a special performance between smackdowns. For tickets, more information on the Brew Battle Pillow Fight, and more information on the Jazz Exchange and their musical events, go to thejazzexchange.org or look for them on Instagram and Facebook.
