International Jazz Day

International Jazz Day is the world's largest annual celebration of jazz. Celebrated every year on April 30, Jazz Day highlights jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe. Join our community of people in more than 190 countries worldwide to build peace and mutual understanding through music.


International Jazz Day

In memory of Frank Gehry, one of the most inventive and influential architects of all time. Over a career spanning more than half a century, his iconic buildings transformed the course of modern architecture. Frank loved jazz and felt a deep connection between the music’s freedom and fluidity and his own creative process. We were deeply honored that he and his wife Berta joined us for this year’s International Jazz Day in Abu Dhabi — a moment beautifully captured in this photo. Frank, you will be missed!
