The month of April ends, as it has the last decade, with the celebration of International Jazz Day. Every April 30, we celebrate the universality of the music. And, its impact on establishing a dialogue for peace and goodwill through this unique art form. Read on and partake in this special day.
Jazz Live Streams are happening all over the world as jazz artists adjust. JazzBuffalo is making a commitment to collaborate with many to be a source for all of us to know where they are happening.
Be sure to check out the Upcoming Events section of JazzBuffalo for the many jazz live streams sprouting up across the globe.
