In 2013\, Mayor Anthony Foxx declared April 30th Jazz Appreciation Day in Charlotte\, in recognition of the impact jazz has had on creativity\, art\, heritage\, diversity\, and education on our community. Some of the most amazing names in jazz came from our community: Nina Simone\, John Coltrane\, Mary Lou Williams\, Theloneious Monk\, Max Roach. \nJoin us April 30th to hear some of the regional musicians that might grow into that iconic status. As we celebrate the only truly American musical art form\, this month we focus on the power of music to unite people. Today\, we pause to “honor and recognize the outstanding work that all jazz artists\, educators\, and enthusiasts in the city of Charlotte presents.” \nVictoria Yards is located at 209 East 7th Street\, in uptown Charlotte\, at the corner of College and 7th Street. Parking is accessible along the street\, and in 7th street station\, and the venue is an easy walk from the train.  Details about location:  Victoria Yards | Blumenthal Performing Arts (blumenthalarts.org) \nFree Event\nDonations and tips appreciated.   Enjoy the healing power of music! If you have the means\, proceeds to JazzArts Charlotte benefit the musicians and infrastructure that keep jazz alive in our community. Holding an event isn’t free\, even if the audience cannot attend in person. \nThank you to our supporters\, Knight Foundation\, O’s Place Jazz\, Arts and Science Council\, Infusion Fund\, Doris Duke Foundation and our many donors who keep jazz thriving.
