Jazz Room

The Jazz Room is located in Pensacola Library and houses a curated selection of approximately 1,500 books, CDs and movies about the history, performance and culture of jazz in its many forms.  Other special features of the room include music books with play-along CDs and jazz-related artwork donated by library users. Also available at the Adult Services Desk is a set of Charles B. Anderson’s Master fake books (18 volumes) which includes 8,271 melodies with chord symbols on 5729 pages.

The completion of the Jazz Room was the final step in the 2011-2013 renovation and expansion of Pensacola Library and is the culmination of a long-standing partnership between the Jazz Pensacola and West Florida Public Libraries.
