About

This deep immersion tour escorts you through 2 hidden jazz haunts for hours of swinging live music.

Perfectly integrated into the natural flow of the evening, we pause to see and hear about Harlem's historic past and dynamic present. Learn about the Cotton Club, Savoy Ballroom, Minton's Playhouse, Swing Street, The Tree of Hope, and the Apollo Theater, while discovering the brand new hot spots and restored architectural treasures.

There's lots of ways to enjoy the scene: If you're a player or singer, let us know so we can help you join the jam. If you like to move, then get up and dance! If you just want to groove, hang back and let the music wash over you. If you're feeling gregarious your guide will introduce you to all the cats.
Mature teenagers are welcome on this tour and in the clubs (we recommend 21+ on Friday and Saturday).

Any music charges at clubs, and tour transportation costs are included.

We tailor your itinerary based on each night's jazz schedule so you hear only the most talented performers in Harlem's most exciting joints! Just like jazz, no two tours are alike.

We go where the action is. Choosing nightly from among thrilling clubs like:

• The renowned “Birthplace of Bebop”
• Two members' only clubs that date back to the 20’s
• A Speakeasy with roots going back to Prohibition and the discovery of Billie Holiday by John Hammond.
• New Harlem spots on their way to becoming legendary - all with their own special charms.
• A hidden blues club on Mondays
• Outdoor stages where Harlemites hang out in warm weather

It's an amazing scene - Every night, we hear Harlem's Legends and Young Lions!
We hear vocalists in the Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington tradition, serious soloists in the Sonny Rollins and Dizzy Gillespie tradition, and great bits of jazz history in the warmest, most inviting neighborhood in NYC!
