It's International Jazz Day!

Celebrated annually on April 30, International Jazz Day was declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2011 "to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe."

Let's do our part today to help celebrate classic and modern jazz.
