'Jazz Day' Comes Back to Easton Next Week

For the second year in a row, Easton is observing "Jazz Day."

It's a day that's been designated by the U.S. Conference of Mayors for April 30. The conference is encouraging mayors around the country to hold jazz-related activities and events.

In Easton, that means a concert April 27 at 6:30 p.m. in Riverside Park, featuring the Easton Area High School Jazz Band and Spatial Edition, a jazz quartet. The concert is sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Special Events (MOOSE).

"America’s jazz heritage deserves to be appreciated as broadly as possible and should be part of education in both America’s children and adults," Mayor Sal Panto said in a news release.

The release notes that the MOOSE will sponsor other events, including Movies in the Park and a comedy show, throughout the summer.
