  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize those
within our midst who have contributed to the quality  of  life  and  the

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2023, as Jazz Appreciation Month

Jazz Appreciation Month; and
 
  WHEREAS, Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM)  is  a  music  festival  held
every  April  in  the  United  States,  in  honor of jazz as an original
American art form; JAM was created by John Edward Hasse, PhD, curator of
the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History; and
 
  WHEREAS, "Jazz," the classic music of America, has had  an  enduring
influence not only on our State and Nation, but also upon the world; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  month of April acknowledges the creativity and talent
of jazz musicians and composers, reminding us of the  diverse  and  rich
contributions to this uniquely American art form; and
 
  WHEREAS,  JAM  will be celebrated in many venues throughout New York
State during the month of April; and
 
  WHEREAS, New York State has been honored to be  the  birthplace  and
home  of  countless jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday,
Duke Ellington, George and Ira Gershwin, among so many others; and
 
  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body calls upon its members and fellow New
Yorkers to observe Jazz Appreciation  Month  by  listening  to  jazz  in
clubs,  on  the  air  and  participating  in  various  jazz celebrations
throughout the State; and
 
  WHEREAS, New York State's famous jazz musicians  have  inspired  and
entertained  countless players, singers, dancers and listeners with such
styles as Dixieland, swing, bebop, Latin jazz fusions, free  jazz,  jazz
fusion, funk and hip-hop; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy  Hochul  to  proclaim  April  2023,  as  Jazz
Appreciation  Month  in  the  State of New York, in conjunction with the
