JodyJazz has contributed $10,000 to the Sound Support Foundation Scholarship fund in support of Caleb Chapman’s Soundhouse. Based in Salt Lake City, Soundhouse is nationally recognized as one of the leading music performance training studios for musicians ages 8-18. The donation was announced at the recent Sound Support Foundation Scholarship Concert which was presented by the artists and staff of Caleb Chapman’s Soundhouse. Jody Espina, Founder & President of JodyJazz Inc and world-class saxophonist, was one of the special guest performers at the concert and made the presentation to Soundhouse Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Producer, Caleb Chapman.
The Sound Support Foundation Scholarship Concert took place at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City on Feb 10, 2024. In addition to Jody Espina, special guest artists were Thurl Bailey (NBA player and NCAA national champion), Michael Ward (guitarist of The Wallflowers and School of Fish), and Sal Cracciolo (Tower of Power and the Poncho Sanchez Band).
“Caleb Chapman’s Soundhouse is one of the very best places in the world for aspiring musicians and Caleb is one of the world’s preeminent music educators,” said Jody Espina. “JodyJazz has been a longtime supporter of Soundhouse and Caleb’s activities and is proud to have provided mouthpieces for the Crescent Super Band for almost 20 years. Having seen the phenomenal growth of what we consider to be one of the very best extracurricular music programs on the planet, I could not have been prouder to participate in the concert and to contribute $10,000 to the scholarship program to provide opportunities for youth that might not be able to attend otherwise.”
