If you dig the soul-soothing, smooth groove of jazz, then why not go to the place where this music genre was born - and is being immortalized. The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame is located in Birmingham?s historic Carver Theater in 1978. It is located right alongside other historic places like Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and Kelly Ingram Park.

Speaking of history, the Hall houses pictures, records and personal effects of renowned jazz artists. Relive the voices, rhythms and melodies of Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Erskine Hawkins and other legends.

The Hall?s mission speaks right to every music-loving soul:
?To foster, encourage, educate, and cultivate a general appreciation of the medium of jazz music as a legitimate, original and distinctive art form indigenous to America.?
