NAfME Chair of the Council for Jazz Education Bethany Robinson talks with performer Sammy Miller about his experiences working with students through the Jazz at Lincoln Center program and his band The Congregation. Shortly after completing his master’s degree at The Juilliard School, Sammy Miller formed The Congregation to harness the power of community through joyful jazz. The Congregation members have harnessed their incredible skills and community into an online platform called “Playbook Jazz,” where students have the ability to play along with experts on their instrument as they learn the nuances of jazz language.
