Swinging Through Time: The Graystone Museum and the Story of Detroit Jazz

The well known Internet Public Library has recently added this site to its Exhibit Hall. The Graystone Ballroom in Detroit, Michigan was "a luxurious '20s temple to nightlife and that new music sweeping America -- jazz." The Graystone was demolished in 1980, but this site helps bring it, and the Detroit jazz scene, alive. The site contains the Detroit Jazz reading room, with five essays about the history of both Detroit jazz and the Graystone; four slide shows depicting the Detroit jazz scene from the 1920s to 1990s; selected RealPlayer cuts from six present day Detroit jazz artists; selected QuickTime videos of "drummist" Roy Brooks (accessible from About Swinging Through Time); a hyperlinked index to the names of bands and artists discussed or highlighted in various parts of the site; and information about the Graystone Museum in Detroit.
