Abstract
The Humanity Project: A Jazz Suite is a six-movement programmatic suite for multiple soloists and big band. It was written with the intention of starting a conversation--a conversation about the disease of violence dictating the way we live in our modern world. Each movement refers to a recent act of violence and calls upon multiple improvisers to tell the story of each conflict and drive the discussion. The Humanity Project was written to display the beautiful differences we all have as unique human beings despite the violence we witness on a daily basis. This suite calls into question what we, as a society, will do to resolve our legacy of violence. In order to heal, we cannot forget the atrocities of the past, we cannot turn a blind eye to the conflict we face in the present, and we cannot conveniently choose when to stand up and say, "Enough is enough."
