During the entire week, outreach activities were held in conjunction with the Festival —Jazz Camps for young talented musicians, Jazz en mi Barrio, taking this American art form to the far out neighborhoods of the UVA (Unidad de Vida Articulada), with the clear message that Jazz is for everyone and anyone can enjoy it without social or economic prejudice.
