#9 The Inland South

Are you a fan of jazz music? Well, it originated among African-American slaves in the Inland South (page 180). The Inland South may have the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, but San Francisco has SFJAZZ, which is a non-profit presenting arts organization dedicated to advancing the art of jazz through concerts, education programs, discussions, listening parties, and cultural events. It recently opened and is now selling tickets to several different Jazz events...just another reason to visit this fascinating city!
