From June 1 – July 4, Downtown Disney plays host to The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure traveling exhibit that first debuted last year at Walt Disney World. We have a full look inside the exhibit with video and pictures of the informative new showcase.

The acclaimed exhibit illustrates the legacy and dynamic history of jazz with tie-ins to Disney-Pixar’s SOUL. The complimentary offering is located adjacent to Star Wars Trading Post in the space occupied by retail store in the former ESPN Zone.

In the “Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure,” Joe Gardner – musician, mentor, and star of Disney and Pixar’s original animated film, “Soul” – takes guests on a musical tour across America, showcasing the rich history of jazz along the way.

  • As a tribute to a musical art form that was originated by African Americans, the exhibit illustrates the many different cultures and creators who influenced this evolving genre.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering partnered with cultural institutions and subject matter experts to bring this story to life.
