At Berklee, the band is part of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. The mission of the institute is to recruit, teach, mentor, and advocate for musicians seeking to study jazz with gender justice and racial justice as guiding principles. Founded by Terri Lyne Carrington, who also serves as the artistic director, the institute seeks to engage itself and others in making an important and long-lasting cultural shift in jazz and other music communities. Leading up to the festival, the band will be mentored by pianist Kris Davis, who is Associate Program Director of Creative Development for the institute.
