The walking tour, Exploring the Philly Jazz Legacy, highlights the actual jazz spots and stories from Philly’s hot heyday in the 1950s and 1960s through the present. Check out jazz meccas like the Earle Theatre at 11th and Market Streets and the various clubs on South Broad Street, a major club strip. Tour guide Jack McCarthy, an author and music historian, will keep you in tune with the city’s rich and innovative jazz contributions by Coltrane and company. The tour is part of the Hidden City Philadelphia educational project. $25, or pay what you can; 1 p.m. EST to 3 p.m. EST. Meet at 12th and Market Streets (northeast corner).
