Make Music New York, a premier celebration of all music, is an ideal time to celebrate America’s classical music, Jazz - in Harlem, where this art form “exploded” during the Harlem Renaissance!

Today, 17 East 126th Street is remembered for where (in 1958) 57 jazz greats were photographed on the stoop with neighborhood children joining in the moment.

Jazzmobile and Uptown Grand Central invite you to a jazz jam on this historic stoop featuring band leader, Patience Higgins on sax, with James Zollar on trumpet, Michael Rörby on trombone, Nathan Garrett on bass and Ethan Mann on guitar.
