Happy Birthday Duke
Jazz Trolley Tour
In honor of Duke Ellington's birthday and April's Jazz Appreciation Month, spend a beautiful day with us on the Woodlawn Conservancy Trolley visiting the final resting places of the Jazz Greats of Woodlawn.
From the dawn of the Jazz Age until today, hundreds of celebrated jazz musicians have been memorialized at Woodlawn, including W.C. Handy, Coleman Hawkins, King Oliver, Bricktop, William “Sonny” Greer, Charles “Cootie” Williams, King Oliver, Milt Jackson, Jaclie McLean, Clark Terry, and Florence Mills. Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Illinois Jacquet, Miles Davis and Max Roach are together in Woodlawn’s famous jazz corner. All guests are required to show proof of Covid19 vaccinations and mask wearing is encouraged on the trolley. Thank you for your cooperation.
