- The New York Jazz Museum was founded in 1972 to preserve jazz as an art form and to educate the public about jazz. It developed from the New York Hot Jazz Society, Inc. which was founded in 1967 by Howard E. Fischer who also became the Museum's first executive director. The Museum documented jazz by collecting records, sheet music, books, periodicals, memorabilia, oral histories and other material, and featured live music, exhibits, films, an audiovisual outline of jazz history called "Jazz Panorama," a touring program, a puppet show, lectures to school children, workshops featuring jazz celebrities, a shop, an information center, and a newsletter entitled "Hot Notes." The Museum closed its doors in 1977 following financial and other difficulties.
