Sworn by some as the highest form of art, and ignored silently by others, who never acquire a taste for the music, the dramatics and the drastic tone shifts that Jazz is known for, there is no questioning the fact that Jazz plays a key role in bringing the world together. And this is the main reason that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2011 marked April 30 as International Jazz Day.
