On September 8, 2008, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service™ will issue a 42–cent, Latin Jazz commemorative stamp. The stamp was designed by Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Arizona.
With the issuance of the Latin Jazz stamp, the United States Postal Service® celebrates the rich musical heritage of the United States of America. The stamp features a bold, graphic design by San Francisco–based artist and Latin jazz fan Michael Bartalos of San Francisco, California. The design conveys the multicultural aspects of the music, its percussive and improvisational nature, and its rhythmic complexity. Click on the stamp to buy some directly from the USPS.
