The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, located in the historic Carver Theatre within Birmingham's Civil Rights District, pays homage to Alabama's jazz legends like Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, and Lionel Hampton. This art deco venue features an impressive collection of memorabilia, including Ray Charles' piano and Ella Fitzgerald's Neiman Marcus credit card, and hosts performances by local jazz artists and comedians. Despite its modest size of over 2,200 square feet, recent renovations have enhanced its welcoming atmosphere. With an affordable entrance fee of $2, it offers an engaging experience for jazz enthusiasts and history buffs. The venue's reopening in 2022 marked a significant return to Birmingham's vibrant music scene.
