The styles of jazz music have continued to be a pop culture staple. For instance, neither Bruno Mars’ album “24K Magic” nor the soundtrack of the recent breakout movie “La La Land” would be as eclectic or rhythmically pleasing without the incorporation of jazz.  Whatcom Jazz Music Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that desires to bring this appreciation of jazz to Bellingham.
