挥杆庆祝的一天 A day of swing and celebration

国际爵士乐日

爵士乐诞生于新奥尔良的黑人社区，在Big Easy之外迅速流行起来，并在国际上引起轰动。由于其即兴创作的性质，爵士乐从未一成不变，与其他文化和流派融合，创造出非洲裔古巴人、拉丁人和印度裔爵士乐等风格。联合国教科文组织亲善大使兼爵士钢琴家赫比·汉考克创建了国际爵士乐日，以庆祝这一全球流派，该日于2012年首次在纽约、巴黎和新奥尔良举行。我们希望你能放上你最喜欢的爵士乐唱片来庆祝，或者如果你能摇摆它，可以参观新奥尔良传奇的爵士乐场地保护厅，如我们在这里的照片所示。

International Jazz Day

Born in the Black communities of New Orleans, jazz music quickly caught on outside the Big Easy and became an international sensation. Due to its improvisational nature, jazz never stays the same, fusing with other cultures and genres to create styles such as Afro-Cuban, Latin, and Indo Jazz. UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and jazz pianist Herbie Hancock created International Jazz Day to celebrate the global genre, first held in 2012 with events in New York, Paris, and New Orleans. We hope you celebrate by putting on your favorite jazz record, or if you can swing it, visit New Orleans' legendary jazz venue, Preservation Hall, seen in our photo here.
