In time for the 6th annual national Jazz Appreciation Month, the National Museum of American History is inaugurating a jazz discussion board. Smithsonian Jazz is the online home of Jazz Appreciation Month. http://smithsonianjazz.org
Our discussion network allows for a deeper, richer, and more diverse interaction
than any single organization could attain on its own. It enables all the members
of each of our partners to communicate on a single discussion board.
