The exhibition follows the history of jazz in Montréal through its many styles, from ragtime, swing and be-bop through to contemporary jazz.
The CHM offers you the experience of a musical journey that includes encounters with the issues and events of the day such as prohibition, the arrival of Mayor Drapeau, the creation of the first black musicians' union and Québec's Quiet Revolution. You will stroll among sites that evoke the Golden Age of jazz, the night clubs, dance halls, cafes and record stores.
We have recreated a small jazz club for concerts. The audience will be able to experience a swinging night of jazz by watching archival footage of the Montréal International Jazz Festival and listening to newly recorded interview material.
This is a temporary exhibit from May 5, 2005 to March 26, 2006
