More than simply providing a concert, the cello is the vehicle that delivers something so very unique. “You see a musician sitting with a cello and you may immediately think ‘classical music,’ except this is so much more,” according to Alex Prizgintas who, together with his cello, guitar pedals, and looping station, is an uncommon troubadour. “We give a show and not a concert, and that show is driven by the topic,” explains Alex. “With the Jazz Ambassadors, my off-stage narrator and I tackle the complicated topic of jazz musicians employed by the State Department to counter Russian propaganda about America’s racism. While a diverse mix of American Jazz musicians toured a variety of countries across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America challenging the veracity of Russia’s racists accusations, black students back home in America were being sent to school accompanied by armed guards in states such as Arkansas.
