The Jazz Exchange is here for the second time this month, and it is all about community growth. Co-founder of The Jazz Exchange, Candice Reyes, brings along KTEP's Board Op, Daisy Morales
to talk about the different languages jazz uses to connect communities, such as "Minha Saudade" by Eliane Elias, and how the music's evolution is not ruled by traditional standards but by the musicians' own interpretation.
For the second hour, the Artistic Director from the Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Society, Pancho Romero, joins the conversation on the importance of the border regions' connections to strengthen the jazz & blues community and his hopes for the future of the younger musicians.
