A Night in Tunisia is a jazz album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers which was recorded in August 1960. In the original liner notes by Barbara J. Gardner, she wrote: "This album is a prime example of Blakey's expressed desire to showcase his young talent. Not only is there extended solo room for the musicians; further, all but the title tune were written and arranged by the talented junior jazz citizens in his group". A Night in Tunisia" (D. Gillespie, F. Paparelli) – 11:16.

Jazz musicians do not get medical insurance. Nor do they receive pensions. Therefore, when they’re no longer working regularly because of illness or because they’re out of fashion, some become homeless or are threatened with eviction. Others require medical services, including surgery, but cannot afford care that can be lifesaving. For musicians who can’t afford medical care, including surgery, the Jazz Foundation refers them to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey. When Dizzy Gillespie was dying of cancer there, he urged his physician, Francis Forte (hematologist, oncologist, and guitarist), to find a way to take care of musicians who don’t have the resources he had.

Each year, Great Night in Harlem draws out jazz greats and celebrities. Some names to appear in the past include Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones, Chevy Chase, Abbey Lincoln and many more. This is the kind of event jazz lovers dream about! Back to Top.

The Jazz Foundation of America has been doing sterling work for three decades, raising funds that are mostly destined for elderly musicians that may be prey to loss of work through illness, high medical costs or even potential homelessness. Although the advanced in age are most likely to be recipients, the JFA is also ready to support younger artists who are struck down unexpectedly, either by disease or sudden accident.
