Jazz is a product of diverse cultures colliding and creating something new. Jazz demands honesty, authenticity, and constant self-improvement from its musicians, while also requiring a dynamic group interaction where individuals listen, challenge, and collaborate without ego. This interplay fosters a search for truth and understanding, acknowledging that no one person holds all the answers. Jazz embraces diversity, celebrating individual uniqueness and the richness that different perspectives bring to the music.

“Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion: The Wisdom of Jonathan Haidt”

Dr. Michael Sullivan will be presenting a creative understanding of why good people are divided by politics and religion. It is based on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.  Dr. Haidt concludes that “morality binds and blinds”. Using the six foundations of morality derived from his research, we can gain a better understanding of “the righteous mind” that everyone has. This can help bridge political and religious divides and promote greater respect for opposing views.
