A benefit was held last Wednesday for beloved member of the Twin Cities music community, Jazzy J. Jazzy is the owner of Twin Cities Radio which provides a forum for independent, unsigned artists to display their musical talent. Jazzy has established himself as a champion of these artists' abilities.
Recently, Jazzy suffered a recurrence of cancer and, as many do, struggles to pay medical expenses. The Twin Cities music community rallied. Often times we hear phrases surrounding these benefits such as "outpouring of love" and "a community united." Jazzy's Party for Life benefit exemplified each of these. The members of this artistic community came out in droves in support of their friend. They offered their time, support, talent, art, and friendship to make Party for Life a success.
The atmosphere of the Bar Fly's loft was one of celebration and seemed to reflect this man's approach to life. Jazzy was obviously moved. He could be seen greeting everyone with a smile of appreciation and words of friendship. It was apparent Jazzy was fully enjoying the experience and equally apparent that the success of each of the artists is as personal to him as his own.
All in all, it was nothing short of uplifting to see this music community, which Jazzy has dedicated much of his energy helping to cultivate, return such an incredible amount of encouragement, warmth, and love. It is an impressive group of talented individuals worthy of support from their neighbors. Through their music, we are provided a venue for this celebration we call life.
In honor of the health and happiness of Jazzy J, let there be songs to fill the air.
