April is Jazz Appreciation Month! The Smithsonian launched the theme month in 2003, and Local 802 is celebrating by co-sponsoring a jazz concert and poetry reading on April 27 at 310 West 43rd Street from 6:30 to 9.

The union is teaming up with Bread and Roses, 802’s new neighbor on the sixth floor of our building, to produce the event, which is free and open to the public. Performers include Jimmy Owens, Bob Cranshaw, Sue Terry, Wally Gator Watson, and others.
