Latin Jazz Stamp

2008-09-10T07:30:00.001-07:00

On September 8, 2008, the U.S. Postal Service issued a .42 cent Latin Jazz commemorative postage stamp that celebrates the rich musical heritage of Latin jazz.

The Postal Service uses their stamp designs to pay tribute to great citizens, celebrate natural wonders, recognize important historical events, share cultural icons, and promote worthy causes and social issues. The Citizens’s Stamp Advisory Committee reviews tens of thousands of stamp subject proposals each year and makes their recommendations to the Postmaster General for final decision. Only a few dozen stamps are issued annually. The Latin Jazz stamp will help honor the story of our musical heritage, one that is immensely rich because of its diversity. The stamp features a bold design by San Francisco based artist - Michael Bartalos. Bartalos created a tropical evening scene that depicts three musicians playing bass, piano, and conga drums. This design conveys the multicultural aspects of the music, its percussive nature, and of course its rhythmic complexity.

Big kudos to the USPS! Now is our turn to support this issuance, it's the only way they will keep honoring this beautiful musical legacies.
