The National Museum of American History is home to jazz collections that include 100,000 pages of Duke Ellingtons unpublished music and such objects as Ella Fitzgeralds dresses, Dizzy Gillespies angled trumpet, John Coltranes A Love Supreme manuscript and Benny Goodmans clarinet.
Each year during Jazz Appreciation Month, visitors to the museum on Tuesday afternoons can engage with museum curators and see a small number of jazz treasures brought out of storage that represent the extraordinary heritage and history of jazz. During these Objects-Out-of-Storage events, musicians from the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra will host pop-up jam sessions, as well as interact with and educate visitors about their instruments and artistry.
