THE BACKSTORY

 

Alan Segal, a tax-CPA, CPA, MST, CSMC and practitioner for 50 years, suffered a severe brain injury in December 2006.  Unable to speak, walk or read, he began practicing his bass five to seven hours a day to recover his hand-eye coordination. 

 

Along the way, he became an accomplished jazz bassist. And 2 1/2 years later, he began The Jazz Sanctuary to give back to the community that helped him.

 

With the help of its sponsors, The Jazz Sanctuary provides free concerts to places of worship, charitable institutions, hospitals, retirement homes and more – Sundays through Thursdays; "We do ask for a bit of help on Fridays and Saturdays," Alan says.

 

His goal is to bring jazz to the community, educate jazz students who can't afford the cost and pay musicians a fair rate for their effort.
