    To get the authentic feel for the neighbourhood, this is a subway, taxi, walking and/or MTA bus tour that is limited to the first 8 people to sign up (exceptions can sometimes be made). 

    Your jazz guide will be checking around to put together the best tour (to 2 or 3 clubs) for each given night, based on the talent performing that night in Harlem's best clubs; among them are: 

    • The renowned “Birthplace of Bebop.”

    • A members' only club that dates back to the ’20s.

    • A 1960's vintage dive bar.

    • A Hammond B3 organ lounge from the ’40s.

    • A soul food club or a greasy spoon w/ live jazz.

    • A swinging beatnik hang-out with a great vibe.

    • A speakeasy with roots going back to Prohibition.

    • We’ll see vocalists in the Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington tradition.

    • Serious soloists in the Sonny Rollins and Dizzy Gillespie tradition.

    • Neighbourhood spots that are so well hidden that even some neighbours haven’t spotted them yet.

    • Great bits of jazz history in the warmest, most inviting neighbourhood in NYC!
