April is Jazz Appreciation Month. It was created at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in 2001. According to Wikipedia, the aim of the celebration was "to be an annual event that would pay tribute to jazz as both a living and as a historic music."
Among the many ways to appreciate this American-born music, you can attend a jazz performance, buy or listen to a jazz recording, buy a jazz-related poster, support a jazz radio station like WBGO in the New York metropolitan area, wear a jazz-related T-shirt, watch a jazz video online, buy a jazz-related postcard, read a biography of a jazz musician.
