Featuring DAVID F GIBSON a strong and fluid and as satisfying as any drummer I heard in years”. Music critic Jerry Carrier (The Philadelphia Daily News) says, ”Gibson may be the ultimate Big Band drummer” His music credentials verify his outstanding rhythmic and melodic abilities. He has toured and recorded with The Count Basie Orchestra under the direction of Frank Foster. He worked directly with Joe Williams and the Frank Foster Non Electric Company @

The restored 1800's Victorian Brownstone building in a Landmarked Historical District of Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn presents an acoustic sound room concert series that offers a fish fry buffet.
The feel of being in your own home with your shoes off, with an authentic jazz vibe. Imagine retreating back to a different time and spend the evening in an intimate setting. Experience the enjoyment of live Jazz Concert, a Southern Fish Fry Buffet and Open Mic that will delight your palette. 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 1930s, 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 clubs 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.
Debbie values authenticity and selectiveness, when deciding who to feature and when.
You're invited to a magical evening of music as we take you behind the scene of this undercover jazz venue. You can get there early to meet the performers, and as you take a seat for a jazz fest experience of a lifetime, these two host will present you with today's best Jazz Artists.
During the evening there will be a traditional Southern fish fry buffet prepared. Cooked on site in a traditional way.
FYI

During the 1930s, 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 community in Brooklyn. The neighborhood held many venues that housed the jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horne, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley and others. All that eventually changed, and jazz clubs fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music.
