                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       RECOGNIZING JAZZ ST. LOUIS

 Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, today, I rise to recognize and 
congratulate Jazz St. Louis, a mainstay of the St. Louis music 
community. Since its founding 30 years ago, the organization has served 
as a cornerstone of Missouri culture, hosting over 200 jazz 
performances annually from both renowned and rising musicians. In no 
small part due to their team's diligent efforts, St. Louis has remained 
a key player in America's music heritage. Through its daily, unwavering 
work to renew enthusiasm in this uniquely American art form, Jazz St. 
Louis has not only kept the spirit and rich tradition of jazz alive but 
has continually provided inspiration and exceptional education to 
individuals passionate about jazz.
  I appreciate Jazz St. Louis's committed work to honoring and carrying 
forward the creative tradition of the jazz style and wish their entire 
team the very best as they begin the Miles Davis Centennial celebration 
to commemorate the St. Louis region's very own jazz legend.
