Jazzy Jive Mile

Louisiana / USA /

1665

Lincoln Park in Hollygrove has a rich history of jazz music being played there in the late 1800s till the early 1900s. Jazz star Buddy Bolden used to play at the park. The park was a community place where people would gather at the day’s end and play music, have drinks and food, and dance. The park was shifted later on across the street, as it was earlier located on private property.
