If you've been to New York and haven't experienced Harlem jazz, you haven't come to New York's heart. The jazz tour with Amanda was fantastic. Be sure to include Big Apple Jazz Tours on your New York travel list.

Gordon was an amazing host! He knows a ton about the history of jazz! He is passionate and engaging. He’s a local, who can give you the inside scoop! He gave us lots of flexibility in tailoring the experience to meet our interests.

Gordon was an incredible tour guide, and friend to our group. We highly recommend his services to anyone in Harlem looking for a great jazz experience!!!!

This tour was the highlight of our trip to New York City! Our entire family enjoyed the whole tour from start to finish. The artists were incredible. Gordon was amazing. I would highly recommend this

Wow wow wow - Amanda went above and beyond to ensure we had a special experience! The bands at both locations were amazing - great talent and very high energy and the most welcoming vibes.

Franco santiago m | 2022.

Amazing show! I do not know much about Jazz but I had a really great time at Harlem Jazz Series. It was a 2-hour show.

FlipFlop138 | August 2019

We spent two hours listening to a great set. The Church was bright and airy and the quality of music fabulous. Great vibe and something a little different from the norm in NYC. Read more

Alexandra L | June 2019

Such a great find! We’re just here for the Music, it’s a perfect break during the day and was a unique opportunity for our 3 years old to discover Jazz music. Takes place in a unique Harlem church and nearby great restaurants, subway stop. « There’s more to Harlem than just fried chicken and Gospel. Don’t get boxed in! » Craig Harris. Make sure you check this Harlem hidden gem. Read more

Peter Z | June 2019

The music is very sophisticated, tasteful and original. Most importantly, the atmosphere was very friendly and all the musicians are incredibly articulate and eager to engage with the audience. I chatted with Eddie, Jerome the drum player, Kenny the bassist, and they were all happy to educate me on the history of the pieces played, the theoretical knowledge behind their playing and much more. Highly recommended! Read more

The best jazz clubs in NYC

We round up the best jazz clubs NYC has to offer including old standbys and cutting-edge jazz favorites.

Everyone knows that jazz in New York is some of the best in the world. In the last few years, along with so many live-music venues around the city, they went through a rough patch. We want to support them, but how do you pick where to go? We’ve rounded up the top jazz clubs NYC has to offer from Greenwich Village, Manhattan to Gowanus, Brooklyn , touching on hallowed landmarks, swanky newcomers, cutting-edge outer-borough spots, no-frills joints, date-idea destinations and more.

RECOMMENDED: Full coverage of jazz in NYC

An email you’ll actually love

Best jazz clubs in NYC

• Hell's Kitchen

The flagship venue for midtown’s jazz resurgence, Birdland takes its place among the neon lights of Times Square seriously. That means it’s a haven for great jazz musicians (Joe Lovano, Kurt Elling) as well as performers like John Pizzarelli and Aaron Neville. The club is also notable for its roster of bands-in-residence. Sundays belong to the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra.

• Midtown West

Iridium lures upscale crowds with a lineup that’s split between household names and those known only to the jazz-savvy. The sight lines and sound system are truly worthy of celebration.

• Greenwich Village

The Blue Note prides itself on being "the jazz capital of the world." Bona fide musical titans (Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner) rub against hot young talents (Brooklyn soul act  Phony PPL ), while the close-set tables in the club get patrons rubbing up against each other. The late-night weekend sets and the Sunday brunches are the best bargain bets.

Village Vanguard

• West Village

After more than 80 years, this basement club’s stage—a small but mighty step-up—still hosts the crème de la crème of mainstream jazz talent (Billy Hart, Andrew Cyrille, Vijay Iyer). Plenty of history has been made here: John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Bill Evans have grooved in this hallowed hall. The 16-piece Vanguard Jazz Orchestra has been the Monday-night regular for more than five decades years.

Smoke Jazz & Supper Club

• Music venues
• Upper West Side

The iconic Smoke Jazz Club on the Upper West Side at 2751 Broadway by 106th Street has undergone a transformation.  Husband and wife co-owners Paul Stache and Molly Sparrow Johnson have taken on two adjacent storefronts (a decision that was made pre-pandemic) in order to expand the jazz club, which is now home to an attached lounge as well. The instantly recognizable full-length bar that patrons were used to saddling up to in the original iteration of the venue is now found in the new lounge. The additional space also allows for a larger stage.

For those looking for an authentic jazz club experience—rather than the cheesy dinner-club vibe that prevails at too many other spots around town—Smalls is a must. The cozy basement space feels like a speakeasy, or more specifically, one of those hole-in-the-wall NYC jazz haunts of yore over which fans routinely obsess. Best of all, the booking skews retro, yet not stubbornly so: You'll hear classic hardbop as well as more adventurous, contemporary-flavored approaches.

Bill's Place

• price 2 of 4

Head to Harlem on Friday and Saturday nights to regale in saxophonist Bill Saxton and the Harlem All Stars’ classic jazz. Tickets are $30 and the show is BYOB (whatever type of bottle you want). Indoor and outdoor seating is available. 

Housed in the same basement space where Thelonious Monk was the house pianist, Billie Holiday sang, and Frank Sinatra came to watch her, Zinc Bar by Alex Kay and Kristina Kossi looks like a Bogie gin joint, with a stainless-steel bar stocked with vintage decanters and a classic champagne chiller—and it's always a good bet for jazz, Latin rhythms and African sounds.

Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola (at Frederick P. Rose Hall)

The jazz arm of Lincoln Center is several blocks away from the main campus, high atop the Time Warner Center. It includes three rooms: The Rose Theater is a traditional midsize space, but the crown jewels are the Allen Room and the smaller Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, with stages framed by huge windows overlooking Columbus Circle. The venues feel like a Hollywood cinematographer’s vision of a Manhattan jazz club. Some of the best players in the business grace the spot, among them Wynton Marsalis, Jazz at Lincoln Center’s famed artistic director.

Descend into The Django and you’ll feel like you’ve entered another world. The subterranean jazz club, with its vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls, was modeled after the boîtes of Paris. The venue consists of two cocktail bars, open dining space and a stage for live performances with the ne plus ultra: a state-of-the-art Meyer Sound system.

The Django has become a place to call home for musicians and audiences alike. Providing opportunities for rising stars, seasoned performers, and eager audiences to enjoy a range of jazz music seven nights a week complemented by a hand-crafted cocktail program by award-winning mixologist Natasha David and an elevated dinner menu.

Ibeam Brooklyn

• East Village

It’s easy to walk right past the inconspicuous steel door that leads to Ibeam. The compact practice-pad-cum-venue is run by trombonist Brian Drye and has become a go-to for Brooklyn’s avant-jazzers. Doubling as a members-only rehearsal space, Drye’s tiny, cozy, art-adorned digs keep overheards down to offer a low-cost alternative to the city's more lavish jazz venues and highlight the most progressive minds in the local scene.

The Jazz Gallery

This beloved haunt, one of the city's premier incubators for progressive-jazz talent, has relocated from its former Soho digs to a gallery-like space near the Flatiron Building.

Nublu Classic

First-timers at this remote Alphabet City outpost will have to ask the smokers outside if they’ve come to the right place: Only a blue light marks the spot. Inside, the crowd settles in for the offbeat jazz and avant-garde acts like owner Ilhan Ersahin’s Wax Poetic. Excellent live Brazilian music and dancing are the draws on Wednesday nights.  A sister venue, Nublu 151, also hosts live music just a few blocks away.

ShapeShifter Lab

Jazz bassist Matthew Garrison's slick Gowanus performance space hosts nightly performances of live experimental music. During the day, the joint provides state-of-the-art rehearsal, recording and exhibition space to the neighborhood's artists.

The Stone at The New School Glass Box Theatre

Since 2005, the prolific composer and improviser John Zorn has operated his nonprofit venue, The Stone, with one-of-a-kind curated lineups and a no-beverages-or-merch policy out of an East Village storefront. That space shuttered in March 2018, but the music keeps going at its new home: the New School’s Glass Box Theatre. Expect the same adventurous music organized by world-class curators (Sonic Youth rocker Thurston Moore and jazz-guitar wiz Bill Frisell are among the names penciled in for residencies).

The Jazz Age Lawn Party is roaring its way back to New York City this weekend!

New York, New York - New York City 's annual 1920s-themed shindig for the ages is once again coming to Governor's Island.

The wildly successful Jazz Age Lawn Party, which is in its 19th year, is a limited event that will take place on the weekends of June June 8-9 and August 10-11 – grab your tickets here !

As always, the crown jewel of the Lawn Party is the musical performances by Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra, who will be joined by special guests like Queen Esther on their two stages.

In almost two decades of operation, this glamorous retro festival includes two mammoth dance floors where party-goers can learn to cut a rug like Jay Gatsby himself via on-site dance instructors!

There will also be wine tastings, vintage-style cocktails, a French café and market, a beer garden, and a vintage motor car exhibition (now, that's something the Great Gatsby might not be quite as enthused about...)

You can play croquet, Pétanque (French Bocce Ball), or picnic on the lawn – in full Prohibition-era garb, of course!

And don't forget to peruse the fabulous vendors, including local artisans and sellers of vintage wares!

All-Star U.S. Premiere + Centennial Celebration

Oscar peterson’s ‘the africa suite’.

Featuring The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra w/ Benny Green, Kenny Barron, Gerald Clayton & More

Hosted By Terence Blanchard

JUNE 5-16 | 41ST ANNUAL SAN FRANCISCO JAZZ FESTIVAL

Jun 12, 2024

Davies symphony hall.

$65 | $85 | $105 | $125

In a joyous celebration of piano legend Oscar Peterson’s upcoming centennial, an all-star cast of jazz greats presents the U.S. premiere of Peterson’s previously unperformed AFRICA suite along with a full performance of his 1964 Canadiana Suite and a selection of other notable Peterson compositions. The evening will be hosted by SFJAZZ Executive Artistic Director Terence Blanchard , who will provide insights about Oscar Peterson and the music that's being performed. 

This exclusive concert endorsed by the Peterson estate will be anchored by a core quartet featuring Berkeley-raised pianist and Oscar Peterson protégé Benny Green , guitarist Russell Malone , and drummer Jeff Hamilton — all of whom performed extensively with Oscar Peterson Trio bassist Ray Brown — along with bassist and composer John Clayton . They will be joined by pianist, 2010 NEA Jazz Master, SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director Kenny Barron , the masterful pianist Gerald Clayton , Israeli-American jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman (featured on the Canadiana Suite ), GRAMMY and Emmy-winning bassist Robert Hurst , and the GRAMMY-nominated Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra , co-led by John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton.

Arranged for this concert by John Clayton, the expansive AFRICA suite was composed in 1979 and was never recorded or performed in its entirety during Peterson’s lifetime, with only the movements “Nigerian Marketplace” and “Peace for South Africa” appearing on live albums in the 1980s.

Do not miss the historic U.S. premiere of this unheard masterwork that will also be the first and only time that both the AFRICA Suite and the Canadiana Suite will be performed during the same concert.

U.S. premiere of Oscar Peterson’s previously unperformed AFRICA suite featuring GRAMMY-nominated Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Oscar Peterson protégé Benny Green, 2010 NEA Jazz Master Kenny Barron and more!
