4 | 4 | | HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION |
---|
5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, Jazz is an original American art form that affirms |
---|
6 | 6 | | the noblest aspirations of our national character, individual |
---|
7 | 7 | | discipline, perseverance, and innovation; and |
---|
8 | 8 | | WHEREAS, To acknowledge the integral role that jazz music |
---|
9 | 9 | | plays in the cultural life of the United States, a campaign has been |
---|
10 | 10 | | ongoing in recent years to designate April as Jazz Appreciation |
---|
11 | 11 | | Month, with 15 states and numerous cities having already given |
---|
12 | 12 | | official recognition to this observance; and |
---|
13 | 13 | | WHEREAS, Initiated by the National Museum of American History |
---|
14 | 14 | | of the Smithsonian Institution, Jazz Appreciation Month was |
---|
15 | 15 | | established to highlight the multicultural history of jazz, its |
---|
16 | 16 | | important influence on American life, and the evocative music that |
---|
17 | 17 | | has been created by the nation's jazz musicians; and |
---|
18 | 18 | | WHEREAS, This admirable effort is a fitting tribute to this |
---|
19 | 19 | | musical art form; jazz has produced some of America's leading |
---|
20 | 20 | | creative artists and ranks as one of the country's greatest |
---|
21 | 21 | | cultural exports to the world; and |
---|
22 | 22 | | WHEREAS, Immensely influential in the arts, jazz has inspired |
---|
23 | 23 | | classical composers and musicians in many other genres, and its |
---|
24 | 24 | | rhythms and spirit of improvisation have also been adopted in |
---|
25 | 25 | | artistic fields such as dance, poetry, fiction, and film; and |
---|
26 | 26 | | WHEREAS, Jazz has spoken eloquently of freedom for people in |
---|
27 | 27 | | the United States and abroad and has become an international |
---|
28 | 28 | | language that bridges differences and brings together people of all |
---|
29 | 29 | | races, ages, and backgrounds; and |
---|
30 | 30 | | WHEREAS, America's jazz heritage deserves to be appreciated |
---|
31 | 31 | | as broadly as possible, and this goal can be furthered through |
---|
32 | 32 | | education efforts aimed at both children and adults; the |
---|
33 | 33 | | designation of Jazz Appreciation Month plays a role in this process |
---|
34 | 34 | | by focusing public attention on the music and by providing an annual |
---|
35 | 35 | | observance that inspires special concerts and other events to |
---|
36 | 36 | | showcase the music; and |
---|
37 | 37 | | WHEREAS, Intimately linked with the history of our nation, |
---|
38 | 38 | | jazz speaks to the rich and diverse experiences of Americans, and |
---|
39 | 39 | | this compelling form of artistic expression indeed deserves to be |
---|
40 | 40 | | celebrated and preserved; now, therefore, be it |
---|
41 | 41 | | RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas |
---|
42 | 42 | | hereby proclaim April 2009 as Jazz Appreciation Month in Texas and |
---|
43 | 43 | | urge all Texans to take this opportunity to attend performances, |
---|
44 | 44 | | listen to recordings, and learn more about the music. |
