Savannah Jazz History & Hall of Fame Exhibit

Savannah has been home to important jazz legends such as Johnny Mercer, Ben Tucker, James Moody, Irene Reid, Ben Riley, Eddie Pazant, Sahid Shihab, Joe “King” Oliver, and many more including living legend, Teddy Adams. These fine performers are all in the Savannah Jazz Hall of Fame, which has been overseen by the Coastal Jazz Association. The organization's new name, Savannah Jazz, trumpets the importance of the City's past and continuing contributions to America's art form of jazz music. To fully tell the story of Savannah's rich jazz history, which is as old as that of New Orleans', Savannah Jazz is creating the forthcoming Savannah Jazz History & Hall of Fame Exhibit to be housed in the Savannah History Museum.
