The Jazz Museum in Harlem

104 E. 126th Street • Suite 2D • New York, NY 10035

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem has over the course of several years evolved into a major cultural presence in New York City. We hope you will join us for our free weekly programs in Harlem, which include our course JAZZ FOR CURIOUS LISTENERS, our interview series HARLEM SPEAKS, and/or to visit our Visitors Center. See you soon!

The Jazz Museum in Harlem expands its free public programming uptown with a new bi-weekly performance series, Harlem Swings, beginning in October with groups led by bassist Larry Ridley and vocalist Melba Joyce. The series will generally take place on two Thursdays per month, alternating the Thursday schedule of the Harlem Speaks series.

The free live performances will occur from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm at Nubian Heritage, a multi-purpose venue offering books, original lotions and body products, food and teas, and a spa, located at Fifth Avenue at 126th Street.

The Harlem Swings series, supported, in part, by funds from The Musician’s Performance Fund, and the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, is produced by Loren Schoenberg, the Jazz Museum in Harlem's Executive Director.
