Here"s a Website that some may be interested in. From the Cool Tricks
and Trinkets Newsletter

Jam with the Smithsonian at Smithsonian Jaz, where one of America's
national treasures is perpetuated through collections, exhibits,
performances, recordings, oral histories, calendars of live events and
educational programs. 
Exhibits includes Louis Armstrong's first cornet at the National Museum
of American History, where visitors can see other objects from the Ella
and Duke Collections. Get an online peek of the changing Traveling
Exhibit, now exploring the rhythms and traditions of Latin jazz, or
catch a bit of history at This Day in Jazz. Take an interactive Duke
Ellington class, browse the research collection or search Media Mix for
access to the Smithsonian's database of jazzy documents, music,
manuscripts, photographs, films, recordings and artifacts.
