National Jazz Preservation, Education, and Promulgation Act of 2023

This bill establishes a National Jazz Preservation Program at the Smithsonian to record interviews with jazz artists, preserve artifacts, and foster collaborations with museums and community groups. It adds specific jazz education provisions to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, including programs bringing jazz artists into schools, developing curriculum materials, and sending student jazz ensembles abroad for cultural exchange. The bill also creates a National Jazz Appreciation Program featuring nationwide performances through Smithsonian affiliates. It authorizes $2 million annually for preservation and $1 million annually for appreciation programs through 2024. The bill directly affects schools, Smithsonian institutions, community arts organizations, and jazz artists through these new educational and preservation initiatives.
