On this Live N” Local podcast we welcome Louise Rogers and composer and pianist, Mark Kross of Jazz Wahi. Legendary jazz critic, Nat Hentoff, has praised Louise’s work as “the most joyously encouraging way of expanding the audience for jazz.” Recently, Louise was named a 2021 “Jazz Hero” by the Jazz Journalists Association. Pianist, composer, educator, and bandleader Mark Kross has composed over 120 works for jazz ensembles of all sizes and shapes, from solo piano to orchestra with chorus. In 2015 Louise and Mark formed Jazz WaHi, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering live jazz and music education in their Washington Heights, NY, neighborhood.
