About this Article

Janice Borla believes the heart and soul of jazz music is its improvisatory nature. "What each person plays could sound considerably different than what's on the album," Borla said. Borla's Hot Jazz — 6 Cool Nites concert series will run Saturday, July 21, and Monday through Thursday, July 23-26, at North Central College in Naperville.
