The organizations include mothers, artists, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and students, to name just a few. The internet has brought them together.Terry Koger hails from Trenton, New Jersey, and holds a degree in music education from Morgan State University.

Commented tour daily at 11 A.M. in English In August 2021, the African American Sampler Quilt Group (AASQG), the National African American Quilt Guild (NAAQG) and Terry Koger joined in a unique collaboration to highlight the contributions and accomplishments of African Americans in the world of Jazz music. The Virtual Jazz It Up Quilt Show contained jazz music themed Quilts, Wearables and Dolls. Quilters from across the United States participated in the Virtual Quilt Show. Quilting methods used in the quilts were, but not limited to, machine and hand piecing, applique, beading, machine & hand quilting. Throughout the challenge Terry Koger, a professional jazz saxophonist served as the “Jazz Griot” providing music education and inspiration for the participants. The challenge resulted in the creation of a collection of 37 art quilts and wearables which were created to honor many aspects of jazz music and musicians including Billie Holiday, Wes Montgomery, Max Roach, Herbie Hancock and other great talents.
