During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, one didn't always go to Harlem for the Jazz scene. Brooklyn had one as well. Bedford Stuyvesant had on of the largest Jazz neighborhood in around. Bed Stuy held many venues that housed jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley and others. Brooklyn's Paramount Theatre among others held major Jazz Concerts. All eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music. Yes, even Uptown and Midtown changed as well.

Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban Bed and Breakfast looked to revive the local community scene of the past. Including jazz from the past when she met with partner Eric Lemons an accomplished string musician and became Co-Foundering partners of BrownstoneJAZZ. The two value authenticity and selectiveness, when deciding who to feature and when.This is Salon Jazz. No need bells, whistles or amps. Even though Cow bells and lip whistling are welcomed. So pucker up if you must. Intimate, classic, acoustic concerts plain and simple every Friday and Saturday night, in a fun loving atmosphere of live jazz for everyone.

You're invited to spend a magical evening of music as Debbie and Eric takes you behind the scene of this undercover jazz experience. You can get there early to meet the performers, and as you take a seat for a jazz fest of a lifetime, with the right ticket, as these two host present you with today's best Jazz artist.
