- Today, we're celebrating the 10th anniversary
of International Jazz Day
which was launched right here at the United Nations
with our first global concert.
I was a host that first year and it's great to be back.
Jazz Day's message of peace and freedom has been embraced
and adopted by billions of people around the world.
To honor this milestone, we plan to return to New York
and present this year's global concert
from the United Nations.
However, the world is still struggling
with the serious challenges of the pandemic,
we put together a virtual concert
with performances at UNESCO headquarters in Paris,
here in New York, as well as London, Cape Town,
Tokyo, Rio de Jenairo, and many, many more.
Plus Herbie Hancock has assembled
an amazing group of international artists,
who'll be joining him in Los Angeles.
They've united in the purpose of demonstrating
that jazz crosses all borders,
links all generations,
and illuminates cooperation and compassion for all.
So now, let's hear some music.

With every passing year,
this has been a joyous celebration,
not only of music, but also of freedom,
diversity and human dignity.
These are the values the United Nations works
to protect and promote around the world.
On this day, we are reminded how jazz can provide hope,
healing and energy
as we work to build a better and more peaceful world.
For the past decade, UNESCO has proclaimed,
is just the message across the globe.
On this 10th anniversity, let us join again to celebrate
the spirit and the values of jazz.

- What is so gratifying to the billions of people who believe
in International Jazz Day's mission
is that it's no longer limited to one or two days a year.
Over the past 10 years, Jazz Day has helped expand
local community outreach programs
and has been the springboard
for year-long jazz education programs.
The lessons of April 30th are being heard loud and clear
and are being incorporated into daily living.
Joining us from Paris, please welcome
the Director General of UNESCO, Audrey Azoulay.
- Thank you, Michael.
It's a pleasure for me to launch
the 10th anniversary of International Jazz Day
from UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
Jazz is a celebration of improvisation,
a call for freedom.
In the words of Chit Korea who sadly left us this year,
"It's the joy of creating, it's a way of life."
And today, we need jazz more than ever.
We need its values, its freedom, its creativity,
its fight for human dignity and against racism
and all form of discrimination.
So let's listen, let's be inspired, let's take joy
in music on this Jazz Day.

- Today, we're shining a spotlight on the ethics of jazz
and illuminating its social and global impact.
As you've seen and heard,
jazz plays an invaluable role as a cultural ambassador
where everyone has the freedom to express creativity
without judgment, while encouraging dialog,
combating discrimination, and promoting human dignity.
Seven years ago, Jazz Day was celebrated in Osaka
and now, here's one of Japan's most exciting pianists
from Tokyo, Junko Onishi.

- Our global concert is coming to a close,
so my friends please keep the spirit of Jazz Day alive
every single day of the year
by becoming ambassadors of peace.
Every year, we close out the concert with "Imagine"
a world peace Anthem that is more relevant today
than ever before.
John Lennon's vision and genius created this absolutely
beautiful and powerful message.
So now let's look back over the past decade
as our artists share their emotional
and spiritual interpretations
of this gorgeous haunting melody.
