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.
