Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) didn't just happen by accident. It took more planning than a Duke Ellington composition! In part two of our chat with The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History Curator Emeritus Dr. John Edward Hasse we learn how JAM came into being. Because of his efforts, most nations now officially recognize and celebrate the historical and cultural significance of jazz music. And Gina is like the Louis Armstrong of mixology, always exploring and discovering new notes and flavors to create her own unique jazz-inspired cocktail. You’re going to love her tasty tribute to the historic relationship of jazz and gin! Get the featured cocktail recipe: Dragon’s Eye Looking for the best cocktail to accompany you while you listen.
