🎷🎸🎶 New Sleep Story! Journey back in time to the budding New York jazz scene of the late 1970s to celebrate Black History Month with renowned jazz writer and cultural critic, Greg Thomas. Part personal love letter and part historical biography, For the Love of Jazz, explores the origins and evolution of one of America's great cultural creations.⠀
⠀
This Sleep Story holds a special place in Calm’s heart as it was both written and narrated by the father of one of our very own engineers, Kaya Thomas (@kmt901). Greg co-founded the Jazz Leadership Project, and before her time at Calm, Kaya created We Read Too, an app that supports authors of diverse backgrounds. She is also a writer herself (and, we hope, a future Sleep Story writer).⠀

“My early romance with jazz taught me life lessons in small doses of sonic insight. I became ready in advance for the love, pain, hope and inevitable regrets of life’s journey. She prepared me for the inevitable ups, downs, and all-arounds.” — Greg Thomas⠀
