Jazz Masterpieces

Alexa play "Take Five" from "Dave Brubeck Quartet"

From the 1959 Album, Time Out, this groundbreaking tune in 5/4 time became the best-selling jazz single ever. Its unusual rhythm and catchy piano riff helped jazz cross over into mainstream popularity.

Rock & Roll
Hall of Fame

Alexa play "All Shook Up" from "Elvis Presley"

From the 1957 album, Loving You, a #1 hit and cultural flashpoint, this song sealed Elvis’s reign as the king of rock & roll. Its upbeat rhythm and playful lyrics defined the youth culture of the 1950s.

One of the most enduring symbols in the United States is the bald eagle—a majestic bird chosen in 1782 as the national emblem.

With its fierce gaze and powerful wingspan, the bald eagle represents strength, courage, and the soaring ideals of liberty that define the American identity.

Independence Day

Independence Day, in the United States, the annual celebration of nationhood held on July 4. It commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This document announced the separation of the 13 North American colonies from Great Britain. In 1870 the U.S. Congress made Independence Day an unpaid holiday for federal workers, and in 1938 it became a paid federal holiday. Also called the Fourth of July, the holiday is celebrated across the United States with parades, fireworks shows, picnics, concerts, and other festivities. Independence Day is also notable for its displays of patriotism, as many Americans commemorate the day by flying the American flag and dressing in the flag’s colors of red, white, and blue.
