• Herbie Hancock Announces International Jazz Day for Paris, to Bring Relief After Charlie Hebdo Attacks

    UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and music icon Herbie Hancock announced that Paris would play host to the fourth annual International Jazz Day, the fourth annual date dedicated to the most influential genre of the 20th Century. Organizers gave twofold reasoning for the selection of the city, noting that the French capital was largely relevant in the European jazz scene following World War I and hoping that the event would restore some light to the city rocked recently by the Charlie Hebdo massacre and other violence.
