Factory at Franklin site of fundraiser for Nashville Jazz Workshop

Jazzmania, a major fundraiser for the Nashville Jazz Workshop, was held Oct. 24 at The Factory of Franklin in Liberty Hall, with proceeds raised to support the operation of the workshop. It includes classes, performances, and community outreach activities for youth, seniors and the entire community.

The honorary event chairperson for Jazzmania this year was Nashville pianist Beegie Adair, and trumpet soloist Rod McGaha was announced as the 2015 Heritage Award recipient. Guests enjoyed dinner catered by Sargent’s Fine Dining, a silent action and fabulous jazz music for entertainment and dancing. Two talented JazzCamp students dazzled the crowd, performing with the band.
