YEREVAN, APRIL 4, ARMENPRESS: The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said it will continue the celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) in Armenia. At the top of the list is the critically acclaimed group based out of New York City – The Franck Amsallem Quartet, with guest vocalist Sara Lazarus. They will hold the final concert of this year’s festival, April 16.
Jazz, though born in America, is truly an international phenomenon. In celebration of this, the Embassy has invited the Otar Magradze Trio from Tbilisi to perform on April 11. From April 9-14 Armenia’s favorite jazz artists will take center stage for a series of concerts. Together talent from three countries will present the energy and innovation that makes jazz, jazz.
JAM was created by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to promote jazz, stimulate its scene and encourage people of all ages to participate in and experience great music. The purpose of JAM is to draw greater public attention to the extraordinary heritage and history of jazz and its importance as a living American art form and one of our nation’s cultural treasures. JAM is celebrated across the United States, and in 2003, the U.S. Congress began support for international celebrations, like this one in Yerevan.
