"Icons Among Us : jazz in the present tense," a documentary film series, looks at the Jazz music scene today. Through interviews, performance footage and the voices of the musicians themselves, we explore this music and the divergent influences that are shaping the world of Jazz at the beginning of the 21st Century. Not a historical look at what has been called America's Music but a timely, vibrant trip though the clubs, festivals and the lives of this new generation of jazz musicians. Never before has jazz music meant so many different things to so many different people, from hip hop to bebop, from groove oriented to free form, the music continues to grow and shape itself in ways as varied as the musicians who play it. The word "Jazz" does not properly classify this music, which is constantly shattering the borders and labels forever being attached to it. "Icons..." is a look at all of this and much, much more.
