What is Jazz? It is a question that echoes through time—and now it has an answer that sings, swings, and speaks to the soul! Presented by Richmond Jazz Society, “Daddy, What IS Jazz?”, performed by The RVA Jazz Collective, is a groundbreaking new album blending full-length original Jazz compositions, spoken word narratives, and African percussion interludes.

Led by visionary trumpeter and educator Bill McGee, the RVA Jazz Collective is a powerful ensemble of over 40 musicians and spoken word artists including Desiree Roots, J. Plunky Branch and Lonnie Liston Smith honoring Jazz as both legacy and living language. This historic release is now available as a CD, and across all major streaming platforms.
