Jazz Appreciation Month

Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) is a music festival held every April in Canada and the United States, in honor of jazz as an early American art form.

JAM was created in 2001 by John Edward Hasse, curator of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

[2] Schools, organizations, and governments celebrate JAM with free concerts and educational programs.

In 2012, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings obtained permission from the Louis Armstrong estate to release the recordings on the album Satchmo at the National Press Club: Red Beans and Rice-ly Yours and timed the release as part of the annual Jazz Appreciation Month.
