Exhibit on Early Jazz and Swing at the Museum of Durham History

As part of Durham, North Carolina’s 150th anniversary this year, the Museum of Durham History invited the community to submit ideas for community curated exhibits.  I’m excited that I was selected to curate one of these exhibits, based on my Early Jazz and Swing in Durham, NC blog post!  The exhibit will open on July 5, 2019 with a reception from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (with dancing under the gazebo to recordings of all the musicians and bands featured in the exhibit), and will be on display throughout the month of July.

If you’re already in town or will be in town for the Bull City Swingout, swing by the museum and check it out!  I’ll also have an interactive downtown map that you can pick up if you’d like to do a self-guided walking tour of some of the locations named in the exhibit.

EDITED to add that the museum exhibit got a little love from IndyWeek with a featured article in their Music Issue.
