Welcome to Philadelphia Jazz Project
Jazz Month
Apr 7, 2013
It's April. Jazz Appreciation Month. There are all kinds of things happening this month by many of the city's organizations and groups. Philadelphia Jazz Project thought that the call to just appreciate Jazz falls a little short. We'd love for Philadelphians to show some love.
- You can start by checking out our Local Jazz page.
- You can visit Jazz Near You.
- You can go out and see some live Jazz music.
- You can go out and purchase some Jazz music, CDs, or MP3s.
- And by all means, bring family, a friend or a colleague out with you.
