This is Big Apple Jazz Tours' most popular tour for the past 25 years. We created a truly immersive experience that walks you in the footsteps of Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk.
Enjoy Harlem's best live jazz in a minimum of two hidden jazz haunts for hours of swinging music.
Perfectly integrated into the natural flow of the evening, we pause to see and hear about Harlem’s historic past and dynamic current scene.
Learn about the Cotton Club, Savoy Ballroom, Minton’s Playhouse, Swing Street, The Tree of Hope, and the Apollo Theater.
If you’re a player or singer, let us know so we can help you join the jam. If you’re feeling sociable, your guide can introduce you to all the cats.
Where necessary, all music charges at clubs & transportation included!
We create the ideal itinerary each night, so you're guaranteed to hear the best shows available no matter which night of the week you join.
