James Moody Headlines “Moody & Friends” Benefit Concert for Jazz Scholarships at Purchase College March 30, 2009

Legendary jazz saxophonist and NEA (National Endowment for the
Arts) Jazz Master James Moody will headline the annual “Moody & Friends” Benefit Concert for jazz scholarships at Purchase College on March 30, 2009 at 6:00PM (seating first-come, first-served) at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill. Moody will be joined by an ensemble of renowned jazz musicians. The concert supports the James Moody Scholarship Fund at Purchase College.

The James Moody Scholarship Fund represents a long-standing desire by James and Linda Moody to create opportunities for the next generation of jazz masters by providing financial assistance for students who demonstrate outstanding ability, good character and for whom the scholarship would make a difference; a major goal is to help those who might not otherwise be able to pursue a higher education.
