April Means Jazz
And YOU can help spread the word about jazz while promoting your own jazz activities by participating in the JazzApril campaign The Smithsonian Museum has designated April as Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) . UNESCO, in partnership with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, has declared April 30 to be International Jazz Day (IJD). The U.S. Conference of Mayors is urging its members to support local efforts to celebrate both JAM and IJD in 2013. Throughout the U.S. and around the world, jazz musicians and supporters are planning special April concerts and events. The month's activities will reach a crescendo on April 30, when Herbie Hancock and other jazz luminaries perform in a day-long series of Jazz Day concerts livestreamed from Istanbul, Turkey. Through the Jazz April campaign, the Jazz Journalists Association is supporting these efforts by: encouraging and helping media makers, musicians, venues, businesses and organizations, as well as individual fans and listeners, to use traditional, online and social media as well as other means to spread the word that “April is Jazz Month.” working with local jazz groups to raise the profile of jazz in their communities by designating and celebrating local “Jazz Heroes” and gaining official local government recognition for Jazz Month activities.
There’s information about the campaign and specific suggestions for

Whoever you are, wherever in the world you live, there's a way for you to help spread the word about jazz during Jazz Appreciation Month (April) and Jazz Day (April 30)-- we're bundling both these celebrations together and calling it "JazzApril." Whatever you want to call it, though, there's no doubt: APRIL IS JAZZ MONTH. Check the pages on this site for specific suggestions about what you can do to tell the world.
