It has a lot of history.learn about some of famous jazz singers and jazz players jazz was the format for the music now they open the doors
Small venue with lots of potential... performance area with piano and drum set add a few horns and the place comes alive. A must see for any jazz fan. Apollo theatre and Cotton Club just down the street...a jazz lovers dream.
I was traveling with my family, which includes two trumpeters, ages 12 and 15. This was our destination for the afternoon: more on that later. It's a cool little space (literally one room on the ground floor), pretty heavy on Duke Ellington artifacts, which include the piano he composed a lot of his best works on. We happened upon a concert by accident, which was nice. All of that said, this museum isn't really enough to motivate a trip up from the midtown museums, all by itself. We walked over to Dinosaur BBQ (passing the Cotton Club along the way), and then to Ulysses Grant's memorial, and in combination it was worth it. Long story short, combine this Museum with other aspects of Harlem and it is worth a visit. Just don't plan to spend more than an hour here.
Although small , the museum had some incredible pieces of an era of Harlem gone by
Its a wonderful place to learn about our history of black musicians and there contrabutions to early jazz . Not to mention pleases like the Harlem Renaissance which was the foundation of jazz music and it's diverse culture.
