6th Annual Jazz Appreciation Month

What is Jazz Appreciation Month?
The concept is simple: designate one month for an annual public spotlight on jazz. Jazz Appreciation Month (or JAM) is intended to draw public attention to the glories of jazz as both an historical and a living treasure. The idea is to encourage musicians, concert halls, schools, colleges, museums, libraries, and public broadcasters to offer special programs on jazz every April.

Among other events and activities this year, the National Museum of American History is inaugurating a jazz discussion board. Come join the discussion!

To learn all about this, go to Smithsonian Jazz, a jazz portal for the Smithsonian Institute.
