Pianist Herbie Hancock will celebrate the special connection between Turkey and jazz music forged decades ago — when the Turkish ambassador opened his residence to white and black musicians at a time when segregation held sway in the US capital. Hancock, a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, is organizing a gala concert with jazz stars from around the world on April 30 at the famed Aya İrini in the outer courtyard of Topkapı Palace in İstanbul, which has been designated the host city for the second annual UN-sanctioned International Jazz Day.
