Wow wow wow! I heard rumors that @YouTube had a billboard promoting @IntlJazzDay right by my house on Sunset Boulevard. So I had to bring my grandson, Dru and take a look for myself. Isn’t that something! I understand there’s another one in Times Square.

[InternationalJazzDay @IntlJazzDay]

For fifteen years, the world has come together through jazz on April 30 🎶

50 days from today, on 30 April, millions of people around the world will celebrate International Jazz Day, a @UNESCO initiative in partnership with the @HancockInst of Jazz.

Born in the United States in the early 20th century, jazz has become a global voice of freedom—embraced around the world and bringing people together across cultures and generations. This year’s celebration also takes place during the 250th anniversary of the United States, honoring the nation where jazz was born, and is anchored in Chicago — the 2026 Global Host City.

Now in its 15th year, Jazz Day connects artists, students, educators, and communities in more than 190 countries, and continues to affirm a simple truth: when we create together, we move the world forward together. From classrooms to concert halls, from city squares to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, International Jazz Day has shown how music can transcend borders, cultures, and generations.

Jazz reminds us that listening matters. That dialogue creates harmony. And that creativity can unite us in times of change. Be sure to watch the International Jazz Day All-Star Global Concert streaming live from Chicago on April 30 at https://t.co/qXFQxXSArI

Here’s a special message from @herbiehancock announcing the 2026 Herbie Hancock Institute International Jazz Vocals Competition, taking place in Paris in partnership with the @FondationLV — marking the first time the Competition will be held outside of the United States.

Applications are now open for vocalists from around the world at https://t.co/7pJJ4n5hyQ. The Competition weekend will take place October 10–11, 2026, in the Fondation’s Auditorium, housed within the iconic architectural masterpiece designed by Frank Gehry.

For nearly four decades, the Competition has helped launch the careers of the next generation of jazz artists—including Melissa Aldana, Emmet Cohen, Kris Bowers, Marquis Hill, and Jahari Stampley—who will take the stage at this year’s International Jazz Day Global Concert in Chicago.

With 30 days to go until @intljazzday , join us on April 30 for a worldwide celebration of jazz—streamed live in 4K at https://t.co/dN2mRp9etw.
