Racine native jazz master Gerald Cannon on a mission to preserve American jazz

 

(MILWAUKEE) - The Wisconsin conservatory of music's instrument drive is raising money to repair donated instruments that will be given to at-need students and schools throughout the area.  This premier community music school whose list of distinguished alumni include Liberace, movie composer Justin Hurwitz, actor Gene Wilder and trumpeter David Lynch recently welcomed back another multi-talented artist, one working with bass and brush to preserve jazz as an American art form.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Mike Strehlow put the spotlight on Racine native Gerald Cannon.
