Once again, Santa Cruz International Jazz Day on the Wharf has earned the praise of our local civic leaders. This year, Santa Cruz Mayor Martine Watkins has proclaimed April 28th 2019 as “International Jazz Day” and the month of April as “Jazz Appreciation Month” in the City of Santa Cruz. Mayor Watkins also encourages all citizens to listen to jazz performances and “enjoy the richness or our jazz heritage during April and all year long”.
