[Tradjazz] Jazz Hall of Fame

[Hkelliott at aol.com]

I usually just read the emails and listen to the music, but I want to pose  a 
question to the group.  Is there a "Jazz Hall of Fame" anywhere?  A  friend 
of mine who produces jazz CDs in London UK , Peter Clayton,  
robinwoodproductions.com, asked me if Louis Armstrong was in the Jazz Hall  of Fame.  I told him 
I was sure he would be, but I'd look it up.  I  have spent a couple of hours 
on Google looking but can't find one.  There  was one supposed to start in 
Philadelphia 8 or 9 years ago, but apparently never  got established.  Then 
another one was supposed to be built in California  and a website started, but 
apparently it never got off the ground.  There  was a phone number listed, and I 
called it, but it turned out to be a man's  home.  This was also 8 or 9 years 
ago.  I was looking for something  like the Country Music Hall of Fame in 
Nashville, but no luck so far.  FYI,  I was a disc jockey in the Atlanta area in 
the 1950's and 60's and when I  started, we were still getting 78 rpm records 
from record companies.  The  last two I got were Tony Almerico and the Dixieland 
 Jamboree Allstars.  Thanks for any help you can give me.  King  Elliott, 
Miami, FL.
