Week of jazz in the BUA (Published on 29/04/2013)

In November 2011, the Unesco's General Conference proclaimed April 30 International Jazz Day. In this second year of International Jazz Day, the University Library of Philosophy and Letters and the Media Library have made a selection of materials for initiation or discovery of this great music, a great unknown for a wide sector of the public. We have assembled a selection of books, films and music where jazzis shown in different formats, from the hands of the great masters, Ashley Kan, Ken Burns, Philip J. Gleason, Bertrand Tavernier, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, etc. You can browse through our collection or submerge yourself  in the sea of aural thoughts that form jazz. And, of course, we support the reasons that Unesco sets out to give jazz the universal recognition that it deserves.

We invite you to enjoy this world heritage, and hope that you enjoy the shows available in the entrance hall of the General Library building from April 29 to May 3. Don't forget that there is more material available on the shelves of the Library of Philosophy and Letters and in the Media Library.
