The great Jazzman Al Jarreau (March 12, 1940 – February 12, 2017) has been a key partner and advocate of UNESCO’s initiative to declare 30 April as International Jazz Day, raising awareness on the power of jazz as an educational tool, as a force for dialogue and mutual understanding. UNESCO misses a close ally for music, and the world has lost a immense artist..
