Follow America’s Rhythm Road

Fly from the UK to Chicago, USA.

Kick off your musical adventure in Chicago, where the rhythm of the city is as vibrant as its skyline. Staying at the Ambassador Gold Coast Hotel, you'll be centrally located to explore the rich tapestry of jazz history that threads through the city. With the included Chicago CityPass, you’ll breeze through top attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum, leaving you plenty of time to dive into the city's legendary jazz scene. 

Next, roll into St. Louis, where Route 66 meets the rhythm of the blues. Stay at the Moonrise Hotel, a vibrant spot on the legendary Delmar Loop—an eclectic stretch alive with music, art and timeless energy. Let the city’s skyline draw your gaze to the soaring Gateway Arch, a shining symbol of exploration and the open road ahead. As you follow the Mother Road south, let St. Louis’s deep blues roots guide your journey. Step into historic clubs where legends once played and feel the city’s soulful heartbeat in every guitar riff and saxophone solo.

Welcome to Memphis—the heartbeat of Rock ‘n’ roll and soul, where every note tells a story. Feel the magic of music history as you explore the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, where icons of blues, soul, and rock are forever celebrated. Then step onto Beale Street, where the neon glows and the music spills into the night—raw, real, and unforgettable. 

Follow the Blues Highway south from Memphis to Clarksdale—where the soul of the Delta sings loud and true. Stand at the Crossroads, where myth meets music and Robert Johnson’s ghost still haunts the air. Step inside gritty juke joints pulsing with raw emotion, where each note tells a story carved from the Mississippi mud. In Clarksdale, the blues aren’t just played—they’re lived, breathed, and felt deep in your bones. 

Cruise down the Great River Road to Vicksburg, where history and harmony flow with the mighty Mississippi. Settle in for two nights at The Inn at Cedar Grove, a grand antebellum mansion where Southern hospitality wraps around you like a warm melody. Explore the haunting beauty of the Vicksburg National Military Park, where echoes of the Civil War still stir the soul. As the sun sets, stroll the riverfront where paddle steamers hum and the blues drift on the breeze. 

End your journey in New Orleans, where the rhythms of the South reach their grand crescendo. Let your tastebuds dance at the legendary Court of Two Sisters Jazz Brunch Buffet, where soulful tunes accompany every bite of Creole cuisine. Wander Bourbon Street, where brass bands pour out from every doorway and the air pulses with life. In the birthplace of jazz, every note carries the weight of history and the thrill of now. Here, the spirit of your journey becomes a celebration—of music, culture, and the soul of the South.
