Jazzcap Showcase

The ASCAP Foundation presented the third edition of JaZzcap at The Cutting Room in Manhattan on October 27, 2008. The showcase features the work of young jazz creators whose vision and daring inspire the future. Noted bassist and songwriter Jay Leonhart hosted the event, which featured three recipients of the 2008 ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer Awards: alto saxophonist/ composer Patrick Cornelius, pianist/composer Roy Assaf, and trombonist/composer/arranger Omar Thomas & The Sound/Silence Small Ensemble. This program is made possible by a grant to The ASCAP Foundation from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation.
