Interconnection: A “Jazz Relay” in Celebration of Life Below Water

The day is almost here - the release of the Jazz Relay video! In celebration of the 2023 International Day of Jazz, London has come together with other UNESCO Cities of Music to create a video featuring amazing jazz artists from around the world!

In each participating UNESCO Creative City, musicians improvised and built on the initial recording created in Frutillar, Chile.

Inspiration for the project draws from Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water (SDG14). In much the same way as the rivers, lakes and oceans of the world are all interconnected through the water cycle, so too are we connected through music. The music of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network on International Day of Jazz will highlight the importance of local and global efforts for water conservation, healthy oceans and sustainable development.

The release date will soon be announced to bring awareness and excitement ahead of the International Day of Jazz on April 30th! Don't miss it!
