A Jazz Mission Sanctuary Foundation (AJMSF) provides, as the name implies, a safe space for emerging jazz artists – singers, dancers, performers, instrumentalists – who do not find support in contemporary music and contemporary society.

They need a warm space – a place they can call home. Working with us is their healing space. A place where they can just be themselves, with open hearts. Let it out. Just let it be – “our sanctuary.”There is a suffering deep in the soul when one is not being heard – especially when there’s a song stuck deep in the depths of one’s heart that cannot be expressed.– Louise Bleasdell
