Philadelphia, April 3, 2014 – Mayor Michael A. Nutter proclaimed April 2014 Jazz Appreciation Month in the City of Philadelphia and launched the month-long celebration during a press conference at City Hall this morning. During the event, Philadelphia-born jazz legend and saxophonist Benny Golson was honored with a City proclamation and live performance by the Francois Zayas Trio.rnrn rnrn“Philadelphia is home to a rich jazz legacy and a dynamic music scene,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter. “This April, we observe National Jazz Appreciation month and celebrate Philadelphia’s past and continued contribution to American jazz history. What better time to get out, hear some great music and truly experience Philadelphia’s vibrant jazz performance scene?”rnrn rnrnFor the rest of the month, local organizations including the Kimmel Center, JazzBridge, and the Philadelphia Jazz Project will collaborate to promote and support Philadelphia’s jazz tradition and assets with scores of performances across the city, workshops, events, and pop-up performances.rnrn rnrnPhiladelphia has an extraordinary jazz heritage, beginning with Ethel Waters, and extending to John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, Stan Getz, the Heath Brothers, Dizzie Gillespie, Sun Ra, McCoy Tyner, Grover Washington Jr. and other music luminaries. During the mid-20th century, Philadelphia contributed to the development of bebop-style jazz, which was born in after-hours New York City clubs. In the 1940s, the city’s lively jazz scene was based out of clubs along Columbia Avenue in North Philadelphia and in South Philadelphia (The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts and Pep’s). Many of these clubs and jazz legends with Philadelphia roots have inspired an active roster of premier musicians and venues over the years, and even now in the modern era.rnrn rnrnThe goal of Jazz Appreciation Month is to showcase and stimulate the current jazz scene andrnencourage people of all ages to participate by studying the genre, attending concerts, listening to jazz on radio and recordings, and supporting institutional jazz programs.

Philadelphia, April 1, 2014 – Mayor Michael A. Nutter and City officials dedicated a 2-acre tract of land behind the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center (PICC) on State Road for the Philadelphia Prison Orchard Project this morning. The land will be used to plant more than one hundred and eighty fruit-bearing trees and berry bushes, which will be donated by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the TreePhilly initiative.rnrn rnrn“This project is great for so many reasons, but I am exceptionally proud that it combines so many of my Administration’s top priorities for our city,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter. “The Orchard Project addresses increased sustainability and greening on City property, access to fresh, healthy foods in underserved communities, and provides opportunities for incarcerated individuals to earn valuable job-training skills before they return to our communities and begin their search for gainful employment.”rnrn rnrnVolunteers from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, prison personnel and inmates will plant and maintain the orchard throughout the year. The Orchard Program will support the prison environmental services program which teaches sustainability, recycling and composting. Inmates will receive vocational training and certification in areas like landscaping and horticulture, with the opportunity to possibly earn credit through the Community College of Philadelphia.rnrn rnrnProduce that is grown will be served throughout the Prison System to promote the Department’s goal of increased sustainability and self-sufficiency. Additionally, if the orchard produces more fruit than the Department can use, the extra will be donated to local food pantries and soup kitchens in the City.rnrn rnrnThe Philadelphia Prison System has taken steps to become greener and more sustainable in recent years.rnrnIn 2008, single stream recycling was introduced, allowing the Department to recycle about 330 tons of waste every year, and a $15,000 EPA grant helped the prison system to start a composting project which diverts food waste from the trash to re-usable material for local greenhouses. These measures save the City money in the areas of trash collection and disposal and make the facilities greener and cleaner.rnrn rnrnDue to these and other efforts, the Philadelphia Prisons System has been invited to participate in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Food Recovery Challenge (FRC). The FRC promotes sustainability and conservation using environmental and economic best practices. The EPA’s Regional Administrator, Shawn M. Garvin, attended the groundbreaking event to present the Philadelphia Prison System with a certificate indicating that it is now a participant in the FRC.rnrn rnrn“We appreciate the Philadelphia Prison System’s commitment to expand its food recovery efforts and create positive impacts for the community and our environment,” said Mr. Garvin, who welcomed the prison system into the Challenge. “This new partnership is indicative of Mayor Nutter’s environmental leadership and is one more, among numerous, sustainability initiatives the City can be proud of.”
