<p>April is Jazz Appreciation Month, sponsored by <a href="http://www.smithsonianjazz.org/jam/jam_start.asp">SmithsonianJazz</a>.</p>
<p>While every month is jazz appreciation month at UNT Jazz, in April we go all out. The month starts with the North Texas Jazz Festival in Addison and closes with the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival. In between are Lab Band Madness and a whole lot of concerts by guest artists and student groups, plus student degree recitals.</p></div>
