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. Come see how authentic jazz was done, when Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn had the largest Jazz community in around. The neighborhood held many venues that housed jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horne, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, Hank Mobley, Eubie Blake, Ray Abrams, and others. All that eventually changed, and jazz clubs fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music.

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 others, 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

FYI
Debbie McClain never set out to own a BnB, but once she did, magic happened. A hairstylist by trade, when her grandparents' 1939 home fell into her lap to save and maintain. Much bad energy once filled the property, but she knew that music would cleanse this 19th century home.
Debbie McClain, once a long time piano student, is just one of now the 6th generation of a family of music lovers. Also, at the same time, she would like to be able to show and share the beauty of the homes from Brooklyn begone.
Continuing the history of the neighborhood, a group of jazz locals and broadway greats, like Blue Note recording artist James Spaulding, Trombonist/Euphonist Kiane Zawadi and vocalist Keisha St. James, aside actress/singer Boncella Lewis, gather each week and connect over music in a tradition that's diminished, but clearly not lost, along with a style of living from another time.
BrownstoneJAZZ now offers other tours along with other delicious beverage and bites, on special days and times.
