Internet Public Library: Swinging Through Time

James Jenkins, who led the save-the-Graystone
movement, continued to build the Graystone International Jazz
Museum. Among its holdings are a guitar once owned
by Dave Wilborn
of the Cotton Pickers and a trumpet owned by Cotton Pickers
trumpeter Charles Victor Moore, both at left. The museum also has a piano
once owned by John Coltrane, drums of swing era titan
J.C. Heard and Graystone Ballroom memorabilia. Jenkins ran the museum until
his death in 1994.
