In the beginning of the 20th century, Atlanta was a railroad center that brought musical genres and influences from all over the country, including blues and ragtime. Consequently, jazz joints started popping up in Sweet Auburn where performers like Ma Rainey and Blind Willie McTell would wow audiences with their passion and talent. In celebration of one of the most beloved genres, The Jazz Room in Atlanta is bringing electrifying performances of beloved songs and improvisations that capture the spirit of jazz.
