Starbucks: Hot Java Cool Jazz

Editor · Story Producer

For three consecutive years, I’ve cut Sarbucks’ Hot Java Cool Jazz series, a collection of videos for the company’s annual fundraiser for public school music programs. With 30-35 contributors, I edited story-themed videos that play between performances at the event, which holds nearly 3,000 attendees.

Below are some highlight videos from over the years. an example of the introduction video that played as a kickstarter to the concert as well as a video about young women finding their place and sound in the male-dominated field of jazz.

Selected Episodes:

01. Music is the Hope

02. This is Hot Java

03. This Space is for Me
