Jazz Musicians Poster Set

This vibrant set of 48 posters covers 24 of our most well-known male and female jazz musicians. Perfect for use during Jazz Appreciation Month, or for teaching about black history and female representation in jazz. There are many ways to utilize this poster set: use them as part of a bulletin board; reference wall; for centers activities; even handouts.
