BrownstoneJAZZ CONCERT, FISH FRY, and OPEN MIC

CRAIG BAILEY Sax/Flutist, "although already in his mid-thirties at the time, emerged in the mid-'90s to become one of the most consistently inventive and potentially significant reed players of his generation. After moving to New York, Bailey worked with big bands led by Charlie Persip (1985-1986), Slide Hampton, and Ray Charles (1987-1991)”

During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, Harlem was not the only Jazz scene. Brooklyn had one as well. Bedford Stuyvesant had one of the largest Jazz neighborhoods around. Bed Stuy held many venues housing jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horn, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley, Abbey Lincoln, plus others. Paramount Theatre located in Brooklyn among other theaters held major Jazz Concerts. All things eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different music generation. Uptown and Midtown changed as well.
