In November 2011 The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), proclaimed April 30th to be celebrated as “International Jazz Day.” Jazz music that originated in America will be celebrated around the world as an educational tool, and a force for peace, unity, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people.
In 1994, this is exactly what Vincent York had in mind when he developed the interactive educational program that became known as Vincent York’s Jazzistry. This local nonprofit takes students on a musical tour that transverses time and space, turning school auditoriums into musical time machines. The program literally swings through an unforgettable history lesson connecting all of us to our shared American heritage.
