Since the early 1900s, Washington has had a significant influence
on the world of jazz. Besides one of the city's best-known
residents, Duke Ellington, the city's clubs have long been a place
where jazz evolved.
The Kennedy Center is celebrating the District's rich jazz
heritage with Jazz in DC, nine days of concerts, films and talks.
There is also an offering for everyone, with the Millennium Stage
presenting free shows that chronicle the history of jazz in
Washington.
All shows are at the Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW (Metro: Foggy
Bottom-GWU, with free shuttles). For tickets and more information,
call 202-467-4600 or 800-444-1324 or visit www.kennedy-center.org.
