The National Jazz Museum in Harlem preserves, promotes, and presents jazz by inspiring knowledge, appreciation and celebration of jazz locally, nationally, and internationally.
(111)
The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, a Smithsonian Affiliate, is a thriving center for jazz that stimulates hearts and minds, and reaches out to diverse audiences to enjoy this quintessential American music. The Museum was founded in 1997 by Leonard Garment, Counsel to two U.S. Presidents, and an accomplished jazz saxophonist, Abraham D. Sofaer, a former U.S. District Judge who gave the initial gift in honor of his brother-in-law Richard J. Scheuer, Jr., and matching funds from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone. Our mission is to preserve, promote and present jazz by inspiring knowledge, appreciation and the celebration of jazz locally, nationally and internationally. The Museum is committed to keeping jazz present and exciting in the lives of a broad range of audiences: young and old, novice and scholar, artist and patron, enthusiast and curious listener. From its new location in the center of Harlem, the Museum serves the local community and welcomes visitors from across the U.S. and internationally. Each year, the Museum produces and presents more than 80 free programs in New York City, engaging hundreds of professional jazz artists and reaching nearly 20,000 people from around the world. The Museum is a hub for live performances, exhibitions and educational programs. It is also home to our widely acclaimed Savory Collection, which includes more than 100 hours of live recordings of jazz legends made from New York City radio broadcasts aired between 1935 and 1941. In 2013, an exciting new era began for the Museum. We created and implemented a new strategic plan that made education central to our mission. The Museum now offers year-round educational programs for students of all ages. We also developed a new membership program with exclusive content and benefits to reach out to the worldwide jazz community. In 2015, after 15 years at our East Harlem location, we moved to 58 West 129th Street in Central Harlem. Our new space is designed to give our visitors an immersive jazz experience, in the heart of what has become Harlem’s new cultural and entertainment district. Our ultimate, long-term goal is to secure a permanent home in Harlem with space large enough to showcase Harlem’s vast contributions to jazz, American music and world culture.

Saturday, June 5th would have been David Durrah's birthday. It also would have been his monthly 1st Saturday Jam Session at the Musuem.
David passed away on June 2nd, 2021 so in celebration of David's life, we will premiere two videos, one at 2pm, which will mark the start of the jam session, and a second video at 4:30, which will mark the end of the jam session.
The trio features David on piano, Larry Roland on bass, and Eugene Mohammed on drums. Larry and Eugene were two of David's closest musical friends and this trio formed the "house band" on many of the jam sessions.

We have been asked by Dr. Zoe Durrah Scheffy (daughter) and Dr. Tracy Durrah (niece) to share the sad news that that Mr. David Durrah passed away on June 2nd, 2021. David had a lifetime of adventures with music and was the Museum's longtime "house pianist" who for years hosted our First Saturday Jam Session, entertaining thousands of Museum visitors from around the world.
This Saturday, June 5th, is David's birthday and if we were re-opened, it would have been David's First Saturday Jam. We have no doubt that it would have been a blowout with all of David's family and friends in attendance. On Saturday, to celebrate David's birthday and all he shared with the Harlem community, we will be posting some of his past programs from our archives. Stay tuned for details.
