Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization founded in 1977 to "promote greater awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of big band and jazz music".[1] The organization has inducted more than 200 individuals into its Hall of Fame, maintains an extensive biographical database, and aspires to create a permanent museum and concert hall (similar to other Halls of Fame).

This organization is distinct from the International Jazz Hall of Fame, a name trademarked by the Charlie Parker Foundation of Kansas City, MO, United States.[2] Although the International Jazz Hall of Fame has not been realized, Kansas City is now home to the American Jazz Museum.
