This year is particularly special because it marks the 50 year anniversary of John Coltrane's composition "A Love Supreme." The Smithsonian's Natural Museum of American History, among many others, are celebrating this special year with several resources and encouraging musicians nationwide to support Jazz!
In support of this exciting month, watch the video of John Coltrane in one of the only performances (and the only one found recorded) of him performing "A Love Supreme."
We also encourage you to take it upon yourself to Celebrate Jazz. Go with friends and family, maybe take someone who has not been exposed to Jazz - use these links to find exciting Jazz events in your area:

Check back next week to see our next blog post, which is about a special organization that's changing the future for some special young musicians.
