Our continued effort to present an affordable evening where only today’s best JAZZ Artist gather to concert in a classic 19th c.style Townhouse, located in the Historical Landmark Gateway of Bedford Stuyvesant’s tree-lined community.

Many have created different, more up to date ways of keeping jazz alive than this venue. Only BSJazz keeps jazz alive in a room which has kept a more back in the day style of enjoying great music socially. The sound of music radiates off original wooden areas of THE ROOM which allows for natural acoustic listening that is considered unusual, in these times. The walls and floors are shared by wooden and brass instruments played by amazing artists. By sitting in the middle of this area, the musical feel is haunting in the 1800’s intimate building. The beautiful design of BrownstoneJAZZ is an extremely smaller version of New York’s larger fascinating Music Halls, but just as effective by leaving you astounded.

There is a time in the evening when the audience can become a part of the entertainment, and perform with World Class Musicians. The wonderful talent that performs during that time makes it more than an OPEN MIC. The performers in many cases are wonderful artist their selves. Often enough, they have gained showcase performance, at BrownstoneJAZZ.

BrownstoneJAZZ is all about the music, yet there must be a break during the festival, to refresh the musicians and audience with a home cooked meal, prepared by the evening hostess DebbieMc. A delicious buffet of our Famous Fried Fish, Slaw and Corn Bread, keeps within another Jazz tradition of a late night Fish Fry. Back in the day you found that the best Jazz and fish fries were found in the community houses.

After the fish fry seats are filled once again, and the night continues till the enjoyment of the last note has played and the audience many times raises to their feet in applauds, and reluctantly descend from what we like to call “THE ROOM”. Or as Lester Holt calls it “THE HOUSE OF JAZZ"
