The Savannah Jazz History and Hall of Fame Exhibit is now open to the public. Located in the Savannah History Museum, for the first time, the exhibit tells the rich story of Savannah’s jazz history which is as old and important as that of New Orleans.
Like New Orleans, Savannah was one of jazz’s birthplaces and has been a leading center of the art form through its noted composers, performers, venues, festivals, media, and businesses since the 1920s. Utilizing a combination of artifacts, displays, and interactive multimedia, the exhibit brings to life Savannah’s storied jazz history from its inception to today.
