International Jazz Day

April 30, 2021, "International Jazz Day", the final day of "Jazz Appreciation Month" ("JAM"), is celebrated throughout the world via live jazz performances in dozens of countries from Algeria to Zimbabwe.

International Jazz Day was originally organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ("UNESCO") in 2011 "to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe." In 2021, UNESCO will be streaming a Global Jazz Day Concert from Los Angeles and New York at 5:00 PM EST.

JAM was created by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in 2002 to celebrate the extraordinary 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 recorded jazz, read books about jazz, and more.

Blue Truffle would like to acknowledge today's jazz artists for their contributions to the music world. Despite the efforts of UNESCO and related organizations to help the global jazz community, too many fine jazz artists continue to struggle financially and remain in relative obscurity.

Blue Truffle would also like to acknowledge today's jazz fans, whose passion for great music continue to motivate new generations of jazz artists and fans. Thanks for supporting your local jazz community.

Support Live Jazz

Although virtual concerts are fine, perhaps now is the time to add live jazz to your next gathering.

Besides the cool ambiance that only a live jazz performance can provide, hang out with the jazz artists during their breaks.
