Village Preservation Launches Interactive Map Celebrating 100 Years of Jazz History
Village Preservation has introduced an interactive map that highlights a century of jazz history in Greenwich Village, the East Village, and Noho. Released in conjunction with Jazz Appreciation Month, the map features over 100 sites significant to the jazz movement, including music venues, recording studios, and residences of notable artists. The map provides historical context for each location, allowing users to explore the evolution of jazz from the 1920s to the 1980s. Andrew Berman, executive director of Village Preservation, emphasized the map's role in connecting the public to the neighborhoods' contributions to jazz. The map includes images, audio samples, and descriptions, and users can search by musician, venue, style, or decade. Notable entries include Charlie Parker's townhouse, Café Society, and the Columbia Phonograph Company, among others.
