One friend received a much needed hip replacement, one friend damn near an entire mouthful of implants/bridges without which he would not have been able to continue to play trumpet -- both received their medical/dental care FREE due to the Jazz Foundation.
I've been donating to them for around a decade. To say the least, they do good work and may be the only organization that provides much needed medical/dental help for jazz musicians unable to pay for it themselves.
