In November 2011, during the UNESCO General Conference, the international community proclaimed 30 April as “International Jazz Day”. The Day is intended to raise awareness in the international community of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people. Many governments, civil society organizations, educational institutions, and private citizens currently engaged in the promotion of jazz music will embrace the opportunity to foster greater appreciation not only for the music but also for the contribution it can make to building more inclusive societies.

José Ignacio – I’m a fan of good jazz, so I am so glad you’ve highlighted International Jazz Day. And Louis Armstrong was such an incredible talent!
Thanks Margot. I’m glad you like it.
