Included in the experience is an Upright Grand Piano, such as the ones once used to create some of today's classic Jazz tunes on Pan Alley Row Grouped alongside other acoustic style instruments in what we call THE ROOM. During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, one didn't have to go to Manhattan for the Jazz scene Brooklyn had one of it's own. Bedford Stuyvesant had the largest Jazz neighborhood in Brooklyn which held many venues that housed jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley and others. All eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music.
Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban Bed and Breakfast is seeking to revive the local jazz scene of the past, along with partner Eric Lemons.
DebbieMc and Eric Lemons an accomplished string musician and Co-Foundering partner for BrownstoneJAZZ values authenticity and selectiveness, when deciding who to feature and when.

FYI
DebbieMc never set out to own a BnB, but once she did magic happened. A hairstylist by trade when her grandparents 1939 home fell into her lap to save and maintain. Much bad energy once filled the property, but she knew that music would cleanse this 19th century home.
Debbie McClain once a long time piano student is just one of now the 6 generational family of music lovers. Also at the same time she would be able to show and share the beauty of the homes from Brooklyn begone.
Continuing the history of the neighborhood, a group of jazz locals and broadway greats like Blue Note recording artist James Spaulding, Trombonist/ Euphonist Kiane Zawadi and vocalist Keisha St. James aside actress/singer Boncella Lewis gather each week and connect over music in a tradition that's diminished, but clearly not lost, along with a style of living from another time.
BrownstoneJAZZ now offers other tours along with other delicious beverage and bites, on special days and times.
