JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH
April is Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM), a month to recognize and celebrate jazz - its roots, future and impact. JAM was created in 2001 by John Edward Hasse, curator of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, a nationally-recognized opportunity to draw public attention to jazz and its extraordinary heritage.

This year’s poster artwork comes from the museum’s LeRoy Neiman collection and is a sketch of trumpeter Miles Davis created during or soon after Davis’s July 5, 1981, performance at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, New York.
