Jason Justice is a saxophone player, educator, and arts activist from Denver, CO. His long resume as a performer includes multiple styles as a musician and work as an actor in theater. During his studies at Metro State College he co-founded and managed the Jazz Celebration at Metro State, an educational jazz festival that brought numerous middle and high school bands together with local and national music professionals. It was during his time managing the Jazz Celebration that he realized there was little representation at the festival from schools in the city of Denver. In response, Jason founded Instrumentos de la Libertad, or in English, Instruments of Freedom, a Denver based 501(c)(3) that brings music lessons and instruments to Denver kids free of charge. An ambitious program that Jason sees as vital to keeping the arts alive and creating music consumers of the future, Instrumentos de la Libertad has a simple plan to level the playing field for kids one student at a time. Jason’s professional experience includes work with Diana Castro and the Big Time, Mondo Bizarro, The Queen City Jazz Band, the UCD Claim Jumpers Dixieland Jazz Band, as well as his own ensembles of straight-ahead jazz. Jason's current project is Gumbo le Funque, a New Orleans funk-inspired band based in Denver, Colorado USA. The latest album is #PowerLoveFreedom and can be heard/purchased at http://funque.us/plfalbum. Jason is endorsed by RS Berkeley Instruments. He is an active saxophone teacher for learners of all ages and abilities, and his website is full of resources. Check out his website at www.jasonjustice.com.
