On February 27, 2016, members of the Uptown Jazz Orchestra, including Scott Frock on trumpet, played a benefit concert in support of The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond featuring a cabaret performance by Shalita Grant of NCIS New Orleans. Proceeds went to the Institute which is a national and international collective of anti-racist, multicultural community organizers and educators dedicated to building an effective movement for social transformation. For more information on the organization and ways to support, please visit the People’s Institute online.
