The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is off across the continent to 847 N Howard Street in Baltimore, Maryland 21201 to visit the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center. This venue celebrates one of Baltimore’s most famous sons and brings artists and audiences from diverse backgrounds together as it supports, develops, promotes and advocates for cultural and educational programming in the visual and performing arts.

The museum’s original site was was in a beautiful white townhouse  at 409 Charles Street until a 1993 fire brought its devastating demise. After several moves it finally landed in its current location, a four story renovated building with exhibits featuring Blake, Billie Holiday, Chick Webb, Cab Calloway and Avon Long. There is also a gallery for emerging Baltimore artists, meeting rooms, a lounge, gift shop and performance space.

This weekend the Jazz Voyager will be experiencing not only the Center’s cultural offerings but also food and drinks. A blend of Jazz, Soul and R&B centered around exploring the highs and lows of the tough subject of mental health through music is also on the musical menu. Tickets are $20.00 per person or $120 for a table for eight, plus fees.

Closed Sunday through Tuesday, the center’s hours of operation are from 1:00pm – 6:00pm Wednesday thru Friday and 11:00am -3:00pm on Saturday. As always for more information, the number is 410-225-3130.
