The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame was founded in 1978, and opened a museum on September 18, 1993, with a mission "to foster, encourage, educate, and cultivate a general appreciation of the medium of jazz music as a legitimate, original and distinctive art form indigenous to America. The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame is an organization and museum in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. It was founded in 1978, and opened as museum on September 18, 1993, with a mission "to foster, encourage, Founded in 1978, the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that honors Alabama’s jazz greats. Our mission is to preserve a continued and sustained program of illuminating the contributions of the State of Alabama through its citizens, environment, demographics and lore, and perpetuating the heritage of jazz music. We honor the pioneers who shaped jazz history, the players, the teachers, and the community leaders who gave rise to the art form. By sharing their stories, we hope to inspire the next generation of jazz greats.The Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame was conceived in 1978 as an effort to honor, preserve, and perpetuate Birmingham’s unique jazz heritage, celebrating its most notable artists while encouraging new generations of younger musicians. Founder J.L. Lowe teamed with the National Black Cultural Society, Richard Arrington, and other civic leaders to organize an annual induction program that would celebrate the city’s jazz legacy and bring attention to Alabama’s larger contributions to the jazz world. The first induction ceremony, held in October of 1978, honored five of the city’s local jazz heroes: John T. “Fess” Whatley (inducted posthumously), the legendary music educator and bandleader who trained legions of local players for success on the national stage; Erskine Hawkins, Alabama’s most celebrated jazz bandleader, whose “Tuxedo Junction” immortalized a local nightspot; Sammy Lowe, a longtime member of the Hawkins orchestra and a prolific arranger and composer in his own right; Amos Gordon, teacher, saxophonist, conductor and composer, for many years the arranger for Louis Armstrong’s orchestra; Haywood Henry, woodwind virtuoso and another veteran of the Hawkins organization; and Frank Adams, the youngest of the group, another tireless educator and consummate musician whose professional credentials included work with Sun Ra, Duke Ellington, and many more. In the years to follow, the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame has expanded to honor musicians from across the state, inducting over 245 musicians since its first ceremony. In its early years, the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame made its headquarters in a modest space located on 16th Street North. J.L. Lowe decorated a front room with pictures of Birmingham musicians, taken from a scrapbook compiled years before by his mentor, “Fess” Whatley; in the back rooms, Amos Gordon taught music lessons. In 1993, the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame found a permanent home in the newly renovated and expanded Carver Theatre. Located in Birmingham’s Civil Rights District—just a short walk from the Civil Rights Institute, Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, and Kelly Ingram Park—the newly renovated museum offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the state’s rich musical heritage.

From country to rock and Texas swing to psycho-billy freak out, the Texas Musicians Museum features an array of memorabilia from Texas artists spanning a variety of genres and covering several decades. This indoor-outdoor venue also plays hosts to a number of family-friendly concerts, and the facility can be rented for your next big event. Texas's musical history is explored via exhibits, performances, archives &amp; a wide range of programs. The Texas Music Museum was incorporated in 1984 and received its 501(c)3 tax-exempt status in 1985. In 1986 TMM won state recognition as an official State Sesquicentennial project, with the mission of highlighting the contributions of Texas musicians to the musical heritage of the nation and the world. To accomplish that mission TMM volunteers interview and photograph Texas musicians and collect and preserve artifacts, early photographs, documents, and reference materials having to do with the diverse traditions of Texas Music. TMM then uses these materials to present exhibits and educational programs that often incorporate musical performances, which are also documented in video and photography. The exhibits and programs encourage both youth and adults to participate actively in the enjoyment, appreciation and ongoing preservation of the state’s musical heritage. In 1987 the TMM board of directors developed an agenda for research, exhibitions, and programs that included the following music areas: Texas Historic and Patriotic, Country, Gospel, Classical, Cowboy, Big Band, Western Swing, Blues, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jazz, Ragtime and Barrelhouse, Soul, and Popular, as well as Texas ethnic music, including Tejano, Czech, African American, German, and Native American. Since then extensive materials have been collected in all of the target areas, and at least one initial exhibit has focused on each area. Each of these exhibits and associated archival collections are continually expanded and upgraded. TMM has the official endorsements of the boards of the Texas Music Association, the Texas Music Educators Association and the Texas Music Teachers Association. TMM has also held memberships for many years in the Texas Association of Museums and the Austin Museum Partnership (with which TMM has participated in several cooperative projects), as well as the National Music Museum Association. Throughout its history, TMM has presented free exhibits, music programs and symposia at many local museums (the Carver Museum and Cultural Center, the Elisabet Ney Museum, the Mexican American Cultural Center and the Daugherty Art Center), and at other public venues, including the state Capitol, the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, and at the city’s schools and libraries. TMM has also provided resources for exhibits at the Austin Children’s Museum and the Austin Museum of Art at Laguna Gloria. In 2005 the Austin Chronicle called TMM the Best Roving Museum and the Texas House of Representatives recognized TMM for its work in preserving the state’s musical heritage. Since 2003 TMM has presented exhibits and music programs in two gallery areas of the Marvin C. Griffin Building at 1009 E. Eleventh Street. This arrangement has allowed TMM to develop a more visible presence in Austin. A large sign identifies the Texas Music Museum and colorful banners advertise the current exhibits. TMM has also taken the lead in organizing a cooperative marketing strategy for the museums and music sites of East Austin, “Come Over to the East Side.” TMM, the French Legation, the Carver Museum, the State Cemetery and Museum, and the historic Victory Grill all provide brochures with information on the other sites, encouraging tourists and residents to enjoy the cultural and historical attractions on Austin’s East Side. Texas Music Museum has played an important role in honoring the first 10 inductees to the Austin Music Memorial at the Long Center. Texas Music Museum provided photos and biographical material for all ten inductees and provided rare LPs, cassettes, CDs and VCRs for selection of samples of music the inductees played at the induction ceremony. Finally, Texas Music Museum provided displays for each of the 10 inductees for the induction event with photos, biographies, copies of recordings and other memorabilia. Texas Music Museum continues to work to broaden its collection of oral histories, photos and other artifacts and share its resources with numerous groups in Austin and throughout Texas. The collection and programs of the Texas Music Museum encourage active participation by youth and adults in the continuing legacy of creating and preserving Texas music.

Tribute to the country star with memorabilia, instruments, iconic clothing &amp; personal artifacts. One of the most dedicated fans of Hank Williams. All of his life, he dreamed of a memorial museum to keep the legacy of Hank Williams alive. It is that life-long achievement of such a determined man that we wish to honor. Cecil Jackson was born on May 9, 1936 in the Lightwood Community of Elmore County, Alabama better known as Beat 14. Cecil attended school at Lightwood Grade School and Holtville High School. He learned about Hank Williams at an early age by listening to Hank's radio programs on WSFA in Montgomery. His first encounter with Hank was in 1944, when as a young boy of 8, Cecil noticed a gathering of people at a service station across the highway from where he lived. He ran across the highway and instantly recognized who was there. Hank, Audrey and Lycrecia had stopped there to get a cold drink. Hank said, "Son, would you like a coke?" Cecil said "Yes Sir" and took one from the icebox. Man, did he have a story to tell when he got home! Cecil then decided he wanted to play the guitar. It took several years and a couple of old guitars, but he finally taught himself to play. A few years later he entered a local competition of a statewide talent contest put on by WBAM radio, and conducted by Shorty Sullivan. This competition, which was normally held on the Courthouse steps, was held this day at the Wetumpka High School Auditorium. Cecil won the first place prize of twenty-five dollars. The state finals were later held at Garrett Coliseum where he placed second. Cecil's second time to meet Hank was in late 1947. Hank had come to the Lightwood schoolhouse during school hours to book a show. Of course, once word got around that Hank Williams was there, all the boys had gathered around. After setting up the singing date, Hank went back to his car to leave, only to discover he had a flat tire. Hank did not have a jack, so he told all the boys "gather 'round and help me lift this car". Cecil and four or five others jumped at the opportunity and lifted the car and put blocks under it to hold it up. Hank changed the tire, and once it was back on the ground he started to go. Before leaving he thanked the boys and told them "you boys be listenin' to WSFA radio today at 4:30, 'cause I'm gonna dedicate a song to the Lightwood Flat Fixers". And he did. During summer vacation of '51-'52, Cecil worked as a bag-boy at Robinson's Super-mart, located on the corner of McDonough Street and Madison Avenue downtown Montgomery. He often delivered groceries to Hank's Mother at her McDonough Street boarding house.Hank Williams' Baby Blue CadillacIn December of 1952, Cecil worked at the OK Rubber Welders Company. On Saturday the 27th, Hank drove his 1952 baby blue Cadillac to the shop to have the tires rotated and balanced. Cecil helped do the job and then drove the car back to the boarding house. He gave the keys to the woman who answered the door, and as he was leaving he noticed Hank sitting inside the room. He nodded and then walked the 2 blocks back to work. A few short days later, Cecil was shocked to hear that Hank had passed away in the back seat of his car on the way to a New Year's Day show in Canton, OH. Soon after this Cecil was inspired to form a band. He joined with five friends, and they became the Melody Ranch Boys. They played on WETU Radio station, at High Schools, Community Centers, local clubs and even at the Service Club on Maxwell AFB. Occasionally, a local celebrity radio artist, Charles Williams would invite them to play with him on WSFA Radio. On Christmas Day, 1954, Cecil married Betty Allen of Wetumpka. They have 3 daughters and 2 sons. Between Wanda, Beth, Joel, Kay and Darrell, they have formed quite a large family with 15 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Beth Petty with her father Cecil JacksonBeth Petty became the museum manager in 1999 because of her father's influence and love for this great legend. In 1976 she realized a dream her father had while observing him sort through old records, books and yellowed newspapers. I was 17 years old and remember walking past the assortment of memorabilia, "What are you going to do with all this old junk?" I asked daddy. "I hope it will go in a museum for Hank Williams one day." he replied. The late Cecil Jackson is her dad and it was his dream that finally came true on February 8, 1999 with the opening of the Museum in Montgomery where he served as president of the Hank Williams Memorial Foundation Montgomery until his passing on March 15, 2010. Cecil JacksonCecil Jackson was involved in every conceivable facet of the Hank Williams Legacy. His achievements included the Memorial Services held each year at Hank's final resting place, and helping establish the International Fan Club where he served on the board of directors. In 1993 he helped with the formation of a boyhood home museum, which houses some of Cecil's personal collection. He directed the installation and dedication ceremony in 1991 of the life-size bronze statue in Montgomery. In 1997-'98 he was instrumental in getting signs dedicated on the 65 mile stretch "Hank Williams Memorial Lost Highway" on Interstate 65. While lesser men would have been satisfied with such an impressive list of accomplishments, Cecil went further and established the Hank Williams Memorial Foundation in Montgomery, AL where he served as President for 13 years. On February 8, 1999, in historic downtown Montgomery, Cecil's lifelong dream was fulfilled with the opening of the Hank Williams Museum. The Museum houses the most complete collection of Hank Williams' Memorabilia. A visit to the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery is a visit into the past, a past that continues today, the life and times of Hank Williams. Cecil Jackson's SongbookIt was his life-long dream to build a fitting Memorial Museum to a legendary Country Music Star, Hank Williams. His dream came true by great personal sacrifice, perseverance and staying true to himself. Thanks to all who helped with this enormous task of making a country boys dream a reality. Cecil was inspired by a gift from his Aunt Doris to begin collecting Hank Williams memorabilia. She gave him the little .35 blueish gray pocket song book from WSFA. It was his number one prize possession. It is proudly displayed and can be seen at the Museum.

The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center is a concert hall located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas. Ranked one of the world's greatest orchestra halls, it was designed by architect I.M. Pei and acoustician Russell Johnson's Artec Consultants, Inc. The largest performing arts organization in the southwest United States, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents distinctive classical programs, inventive pops concerts and innovative multimedia events to inspire the broadest possible audience. To date, the orchestra has been served as Music Director by Antal Doráti (1945-48), Walter Hendl (1949-58), Sir Georg Solti (1961-62), Anshel Brusilow (1970-73), Max Rudolf (1973-74), Eduardo Mata (1977-93), Andrew Litton (1994-2006), Jaap van Zweden (2008-18) and Fabio Luisi, who inaugurated his tenure in September 2020. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra traces its origins to a concert given by a group of 40 musicians conducted by Hans Kreissig in 1900. Born in Germany, Kreissig studied composition and conducting with Arthur Sullivan in London and served as accompanist to the English cornet player Jules Levy. He left for the States in 1883 as part of a touring opera company, and settled in Dallas one year later, where he made a living teaching piano and organ as well as directing church choirs. This was a period of huge growth for the city, which profited from being a railroad hub for transportation from east to west. From a small agricultural community, the city grew in numbers and financial standing, bringing with it a more affluent population and an interest in the arts. The orchestra, like the city, evolved in both size and stature until it was in a position to appoint the eminent Hungarian conductor and composer Antal Doráti as Music Director in 1945. Doráti transformed the ensemble into a fully professional orchestra that won national attention through a series of RCA recordings, expanded repertoire, more concerts and several national network radio broadcasts. It was under Doráti that the Dallas Symphony recorded Liszt’s First Piano Concerto with Arthur Rubinstein and Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto with Yehudi Menuhin (both on RCA) and gave the North American premiere of Bartók’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle in 1949. When Mexican-born conductor Eduardo Mata was appointed Music Director in 1977, the orchestra embarked on its second major period of growth and success. Under Mata’s guidance the ensemble benefited from recording contracts with both RCA and Dorian, prominent national engagements in New York and Washington, and tours of Europe and South America. During his tenure the Dallas Symphony also saw the opening in 1989 of its permanent home, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Designed by the award-winning team of I.M. Pei, Russell Johnson and Artec, this has since become an iconic architectural and acoustical national landmark. Andrew Litton brought the Dallas Symphony unparalleled national and international exposure through recordings, telecasts, and tours. He made 26 compact discs with the DSO for five different labels. He led the orchestra on three European tours and four trips to Carnegie Hall. He hosted and conducted national telecasts on PBS and A&amp;E. Mr. Litton conducted a wide repertoire, including several world premieres, but was especially noted for the music of Mahler, Shostakovich and Gershwin. He often appeared as a pianist on DSO concerts and in chamber music performances. He endeared himself to Dallasites through his outgoing personality and by establishing his residence here for the duration of his tenure, 1994 to 2006. Jaap van Zweden took the helm as Music Director in 2008, and the orchestra continued to flourish under his dynamic leadership. Van Zweden led internationally acclaimed performances, championing the music of composers John Luther Adams, Philip Glass, Jennifer Higdon, Poul Rouders and Conrad Tao, among others. He conducted the world premiere performance and recording of Steven Stucky’s concert drama August 4, 1964, for which the composer was nominated for a Grammy Award, and recorded symphonies by Tchaikovsky (Nos. 4 and 5), Beethoven (Nos. 5 and 7), Mahler (Nos. 3 &amp; 6) and Dvořák (No. 9) for the orchestra’s DSO Live label. Named Musical America’s Conductor of the Year 2012, Van Zweden completed his ten-year tenure at the DSO in May 2018. The orchestra embarked on a bold new era in January 2018, when Kim Noltemy joined the Dallas Symphony Association (DSA) as Ross Perot President &amp; CEO. Under her visionary leadership, the DSO has implemented numerous new initiatives. These include the Young Musicians education program, which offers free instruments and music lessons to all children in Southern Dallas, and the Women in Classical Music program. This has seen the establishment of an annual symposium and the appointments of Julia Wolfe and Angélica Negrón as Composers-in-Residence and of Gemma New as Principal Guest Conductor. In June 2018, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra named Grammy Award-winning Italian conductor Fabio Luisi as its next Music Director. Over the next two years, Luisi developed a close rapport with the orchestra through a series of acclaimed performances, before assuming the Louise W. &amp; Edmund J. Kahn Music Directorship in September 2020. During the global pandemic, the DSO pivoted quickly to expand its online presence and continue providing live music and service to the Dallas community. The historic season-opening concerts with which Luisi launched his tenure saw the DSO become the first major American orchestra to perform for an in-person audience in its own hall since the start of the COVID-19 shutdown, drawing widespread national praise. Today the Dallas Symphony Orchestra enjoys superlative artistic and executive leadership in one of the world’s foremost concert halls. Building on the past 120 years of outstanding music-making, Luisi, Noltemy and the orchestra continue to shape the 21st-century classical landscape, both in Dallas and beyond.

Enjoy a guided evening of live local music. More than a tour it’s an early evening visit to some of the best live music clubs in the city. The line-ups change night-to-night, no two Night On The Town tours are alike. Your local New Orleans Music Tours guide knows where to find top musicians playing the hottest venues on Frenchmen Street, a small district across the Esplanade Avenue from the French Quarter. Performances any night ranges jazz of all styles from traditional to Gypsy as well as rock, blues and funk.

This was our first trip at abroad, we were having lots of questions with us how will be the company, will get Jain food and many more but with flamingo the answers was yes we got best company and excellent food all over the trip. We didn't only get Jain food but we got full Gujarati dish "Shikhand Puri", "Pani Puri", "Puran Puri", and many Indian dishes, it was really very surprising for us. The hotels provide by them for stay were also so good. The tour manager Devarshi Mam itself was so supportive. We never realized that tour manager is with us she was like our family member. She was so friendly by nature and knowledgeable person to guide us. Thanks to FLAMINGO.It was our excellent dream trip. I would rate 5 stars out of 5.

Thanks to FLAMINGO It Was Our Excellent Dream Trip

<div>I am pleased to share that the saidtrip was one of the best trips&nbsp; we have done till now. With the scenic destinations and good selection of tourist spots for the tour, hotels and food was also excellent. Especially, the tour to Victoria Falls and Botswana, it was beyond imagination to get the taste like homemade Gujarati food arranged by Flamingo as well as service of the local tour operator.</div>

Mr. Hemang Patel

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day Mr. Kushal shah wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager Mr. kushal shah.</div>
