SOFT POWER

In the 50's and 60's, the US State Department "Jazz Ambassadors" program sponsored American jazz musicians touring all over the world. Why? Because jazz is America, with its invention and improvisation, its cooperation and competition, its swagger and its heartache. Jazz is a kind of multi-vocal democracy, and embodies what we claim are American values. That's soft power.
