The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, founded in 1978, is an archive and museum dedicated to preserving and honoring the accomplishments of Alabamians in the history of jazz music. Since 1993 the Hall of Fame has maintained a 2,200 square foot exhibit in the Carver Theater on 4th Avenue North in Birmingham's Civil Rights District. The Hall of Fame also sponsors jazz performances for schools and for the public. It also maintains a roster of active jazz musicians and ensembles.
Every Saturday, the Jazz Hall of Fame offers jazz classes which are free to any resident of the state of Alabama. These classes are taught by a faculty of professionals. This jazz faculty is also a performing ensemble, known as the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame All-Stars.
