**Record Store Day is slated to be back this April 21 at various independent retailers
all over the world as it heads into its eleventh year. The annual event, inaugurated
in 2007 and held on one Saturday every April, aims to “celebrate the culture of 
the independently owned record store.” Record Store Day has also announced plans
for a third Summer Camp series for small independent record stores.**

Record Store Day include special releases from artists across genres, including 
jazz. Last year’s special releases included works by such artists as pianists Thelonious
Monk and Bill Evans, bassist Jaco Pastorius, and guitarist Wes Montgomery.

The list of exclusive records to be released during Record Store Day will be out
shortly, as well as an announcement for the Record Store Day 2018 Ambassador. Last
year, the honor went to singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist St. Vincent,
becoming the Day’s first ever female Ambassador. Other Ambassadors of previous editions
include Metallica, Dave Grohl, and Jack White.
