JAZZ IS TRIUMPHANT MUSIC” – are the words of Dr. King in his opening address for the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival.
These words resonate within the vision of William “Doc” Jones as he sets the tempo for the celebration of Dr. King an iconic figure that pushed forward humanity and the music that surrounded, lifted, led, and shook the consciousnesses of souls around the world.
