THE HISTORY - Denver's Five Points

During a magical time of American creativity, a new musical form captivated the world. The music was called jazz, and Denver's Five Points was the "Jazz Mecca" of the American West. From the "Roaring 20's" to the mid-1950's, Denver proudly proclaimed its place among the stellar jazz cities.

The Five Points was the place to be, featuring legendary performers like Louie Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole. Nightclubs, social clubs, hotels, and restaurants served hot jazz to the avant-garde crowds that migrated along the trendy spots on Welton Street.
