Lonely Planet review

The headquarters for the Jazz National Historic Park does not have much to offer yet - there's no historic exhibit pulling all the stops. Such a thing is sorely missing in the 'Cradle of Jazz.' However, the center does have educational musical programs on most days of the week.

Many of the park rangers are musicians and knowledgeable lecturers, and their presentations discuss musical developments, cultural changes, regional styles, myths, legends, and musical techniques in relation to the broad subject of jazz. At some point, the center is supposed to relocate to a permanent headquarters in Louis Armstrong Park.
