April is Jazz Appreciation Month!
What is Jazz Appreciation Month?
Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) is a music festival held every April in the United States, in honor of jazz as an early American art form. JAM was created by John Edward Hasse, PhD, curator of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
JAM intends to herald and celebrate the extraordinary heritage and history of jazz for the entire month of April. JAM is intended to stimulate and encourage people of all ages to participate in jazz - to study the music, attend concerts, listen to jazz on radio and recordings, read books about jazz, and more.
We invite you to come down to explore some of our fantastic resources. We have great books on the American jazz scene, the best Jazz Musician Biographies, specially chosen books, CDs and DVDs on the uniquely American art of jazz and swing music, from jazz legends to contemporary jazz.
