The John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts puts on its annual Christmas Eve Jazz Jam every year. It's normally a festive night where musicians gather for holiday music and good vibes. But not this year. Instead of festive harmony, the event has sparked a million-dollar legal battle tangled up in politics.
For nearly twenty years, Chuck Redd has been a familiar face at this event; now, the veteran jazz drummer is dealing with an unexpected legal battle. The dispute arose after Redd withdrew from the performance to protest the inclusion of Donald Trump's name at the iconic Washington, D.C. venue.
