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.

Here's looking Atchafalaya
Encompassing 14 Louisiana parishes and over 1.4 million acres, the Atchafalaya Basin is one of the United States' 55 National Heritage Areas, the one they call America's Foreign Country. Bayous, marshes, backwater lakes, and the nation's largest river swamp make up one of the most diverse ecological and cultural landscapes in North America.
The Choctaw people named the area 'long river' or 'hacha falaia.' Over the past four centuries, waves of French, Spanish, African, Acadian, and Caribbean settlers have contributed to the unique Cajun language, cuisine, music, architecture, and storytelling traditions that set this region apart.
The bald cypress trees—seen here draped in Spanish moss—are an iconic part of this incredibly rich ecosystem. Wildlife here includes crawfish, catfish, shrimp, bears, alligators, and over 270 species of birds. The Atchafalaya Basin was recognized as a National Heritage Area (NHA) in 2006. Unlike National Parks, NHAs function as a partnership between residents, local, and federal agencies, that combine private and public lands into more livable and sustainable regions.
这是阿查法拉亚
阿查法拉亚盆地包括路易斯安那州14个教区和140多万英亩土地，是美国55个国家遗产区之一，他们称之为美国的外国。贝尤斯、沼泽、回水湖和美国最大的河流沼泽构成了北美最多样化的生态和文化景观之一。
乔克托人将该地区命名为“长河”或“hacha falaia”。在过去的四个世纪里，法国、西班牙、非洲、阿卡迪亚和加勒比海的移民潮为该地区独特的卡琼语、烹饪、音乐、建筑和讲故事传统做出了贡献，使该地区与众不同。
这里的秃顶柏树覆盖着西班牙苔藓，是这个极其丰富的生态系统的标志性部分。这里的野生动物包括小龙虾、鲶鱼、虾、熊、短吻鳄和270多种鸟类。阿查法拉亚盆地于2006年被确认为国家遗产区（NHA）。与国家公园不同，国家公路局是居民、地方和联邦机构之间的伙伴关系，将私人和公共土地结合成更宜居和可持续的区域。

Autumn in the cypress swamp
Autumn still brings a splash of color to this hardwood forest of bald cypress in Louisiana. But make no mistake, a stroll through these wetlands is not a cozy New England leaf-peeping journey. The swamp forest floor is often covered by the waters of Atchafalaya River delta as it drains into the Gulf of Mexico, so the autumn colors here are best viewed from the seat of a canoe or a pirogue, as the local Cajuns use. The water-resistant bald cypress thriving in the Atchafalaya Basin constitutes the largest tract of contiguous cypress forest in the United States. The ecosystem here is so unlike any other in the US, the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area organization calls it ‘America’s foreign country.’
