Dear International Jazz Day Phx. & NextStudemy Academy Supporters ,
We are rapidly approaching Phoenix’ 4th Annual International Jazz Day 2015, proclaimed by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2011. The first Celebration took place in Paris France coordinating with the birthplace of Jazz, New Orleans, Louisiana. UNESCO resolved that April 30th of each
year would be a day to celebrate the United State’s natural heritage, Jazz Music as a way to align ourselves with other Nations around the world. It’s a music that brings people together… that promotes individuality, authenticity, and community all at the same time. Jazz has the power to transform. Jazz has the power to solve conflict. Jazz has the power to create opportunities.”
