Experience the enjoyment of the Jazz Concert, and a Southern Fish Fry Buffet that will delight any palette cooked on site in the traditional jazz way.
Before the evening ends if you feel that you would like to show off your talents by performing your special artistic self, join in on the OPEN MIC. The musicians will play with you or you can play for them. Open Participation is expected at the end of the night from the audience, but if you’re shy just sit back and enjoy the show.
Experience an Upright Grand Piano from the early 19th c., jonce used to create the Classic Jazz tunes still played today. The Charles M. Stieff Co., piano has its own American history. Referred to as the poor mans Steinway. Only, actually it stands with Grand Steinways of the same era. Also like Brownstone houses, Stieff pianos are no longer created.
During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, one didn't always go to Harlem for the Jazz scene. Brooklyn had one as well. Bedford Stuyvesant had on of the largest Jazz neighborhood in around. Bed Stuy held many venues that housed jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley and others. Brooklyn's Paramount Theatre among others held major Jazz Concerts. All eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music. Yes, even Uptown and Midtown changed as well.
Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban Bed and Breakfast looked to revive the local community scene of the past. Including jazz from the past when she met with partner Eric Lemons.
