Happy International Jazz Day 2023 ! ... and a special thank you from Herbie HANCOCK

 Dear Jazz Day Organizers,

Less than 24 hours to go until the the International Jazz Day 2023 All-Star Global Concert and we're so excited for the nearly 1100 registered events from Andorra to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between!

Before the Concert, we kick off the celebrations with 8 education programs in different languages –– including the just-announced program, "A Conversation with Bill Clinton & Herbie Hancock," which will stream 1 hour before the Concert at 12pm (Los Angeles), 3pm (New York), 8pm (London), 9pm (Paris), 4am May 1 (Tokyo). You can watch and share a trailer of the conversation here.

As organizers, you have shown a deep love and passion for jazz music and sharing it within your communities; we're thrilled to share this special video message to YOU from UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock:

Please share this message with all the helpful people that have made your #JazzDay celebration possible. You may also share this video with your event audiences and online followers as well.

Sunday is also a great day to post a little video clip of you, your fellow jazz fans, performing artists and/or audiences wishing everyone a "Happy International Jazz Day...from [your city or country here]!"

If you'll be posting on social media about Jazz Day, your events, the Global Concert or the Education Programs, please tag us @intljazzday and @UNESCO with #JazzDay.

The Education Programs are also available on YouTube and Facebook.

We're so excited for your energy and enthusiasm for this year's International Jazz Day and look forward to another spectacular worldwide celebration!

We can't wait to see all the photos and videos from all the celebrations taking place and we'll be sharing them with the Jazz Day family online starting next week. Watch out for an email about sending in your pics and videos.

BEST BEST WISHES FOR A JOYFUL INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY!
