🎥 reposted from @intljazzday “I’m excited that Chicago, my hometown, is hosting International Jazz Day 2026.” — @unesco Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock

We’re pleased to announce the International Jazz Day All-Star Global Concert will be streaming live from Chicago worldwide in glorious 4k on jazzday.com...

Jazz connects people, cultures and the world. Jazz tells a story of freedom that all people share.

Born in the United States, jazz is owned by the world. Jazz makes the most of the world’s diversity, effortlessly crossing borders and bringing people together.

From its roots in slavery, jazz has raised a passionate voice against all forms of oppression. It speaks a language of freedom that is meaningful to all cultures.

Through jazz, millions of people have sung and still sing today their desire for freedom, tolerance and human dignity.

Happy International Jazz Day! 15 years and we have you to thank. This year we had a record number of registrations with thousands of events from more than 190 countries. This year we are streaming in 4k on jazzday.com some great discussions, dialogues and programs that embrace the harmony jazz evokes –culminating with the live International Jazz Day All-Star Global Concert.
