My Jazz Story
NEW YORK — Music speaks an international language, crossing borders and oceans. Today,
the United States Postal Service and La Poste of France celebrate a lively conversation
between continents with the issuance of the Miles Davis and Edith Piaf stamps. The U.S.
version of the stamps, issued as Forever stamps, go on sale today at Post Offices
nationwide. The U.S. version and La Poste versions can be purchased in the United States
online at usps.com and by phone at 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724).
Joining Stroman to dedicate the new Forever stamps were Emmy Award-winning actress
Cicely Tyson; Sirius/XM Program Director Mark Ruffin; legendary jazz bassist Ron Carter;
musician/producer Don Was, currently chief creative officer of Blue Note Records;
legendary music industry executive George Avakian from Columbia Records; world-class
musician Jon Barnes, who played in the movie Dirty Dancing; and members of the Davis
family, including daughter Cheryl, son Erin, and nephew Vince Wilburn, Jr. A musical tribute
was performed by the Julliard School of Music, the alma mater of Miles Davis.
