As part of the celebrations of the first International Jazz Day, eight greats of the gender gave master classes at UNESCO headquarters.

Herbie Hancock, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Marcus Miller and Barbara Hendricks among others talked about how they became jazz musicians, as well as about the people that inspired and helped them when they started.
