Lorenzo Washington, curator of the Jefferson Street Sound museum, points to points to historic photographs at the Jefferson Street Sound museum in Nashville , Tennessee on March 15, 2024. Country music capital Nashville was once also a hotbed of blues, rock and jazz, thanks to a historically Black neighbourhood that brought then-budding greats like Jimi Hendrix to town.
“Everybody had fun on Jefferson Street,” Washington said with a wide smile, sporting a sharp blue suit jacket and felt hat.For decades Jefferson Street was a hotspot on the Chitlin’ Circuit, a network of venues where Black entertainers were welcome to perform in the era of racial segregation in the United States.
“That was tragic to the city when we lost Black music,” he continued, saying the city was focused on its country scene and paid little attention to Jefferson Street. “They said you could be the curator. And I said, ‘The curator? Now what does a curator do?’” he remembers with an infectious chuckle.
