Book Description
This is an indispensable guide for both jazz aficionados and those seeking entree into New York's big band, bebop, fusion, and funk scenes. Profiled venues include fabled haunts of Harlem; elegant Midtown supper clubs; hip downtown hangouts; a subterranean Bowery alcove where the spirit of Mingus rumbles on; an intimate uptown spot that inspired a famous screenplay; and a celebrity-owned club in the heart of Times Square. There are dozens of photos and each listing offers directions, hours, subway stops, and maps, while sidebars describe festivals, famous addresses, and jazz history.
