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.
Mission: The National Jazz Museum in Harlem preserves, promotes, and presents jazz by inspiring knowledge, appreciation and celebration of jazz locally, nationally, and internationally.

We were excited to host Dee Dee Bridegwater’s Woodshed Network a few weeks ago. A special moment happened when a participant played “In a Sentimental Mood“ on Duke Ellington’s piano along with the amazing @lakeciab on alto. Repost from @lakeciab
A preview of tonight’s music - Kendrick Scott brings Dayna Stephens, Marquis Hill, and Kanoa Mendenhall. Magic!
A Night at Langston’s was a success! Our Director of Education and Programming Ryan Maloney shared some music and insights into the music of the New Negro Movement (Harlem Renaissance) and Candace Hoyes together with Joel Ross presented a night of music.
One of the reasons I love what we do here at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem is that we create new communities on the spot. Take today for example: we had visitors from four different continents, as well many regions of our country, and they gradually coalesced into a community of eager listeners. What were they listening to, you ask? A rehearsal was happening, organized by the indefatigable Eli Yamin and Steven Oquendo. They had put together a band of outstanding Latin jazz artists and next thing you knew, our visitors became a living, breathing community -yes- enjoying the sounds and eagerly socializing, exchanging tales about the music. That’s what we are about, and we love that curiosity and jazz are our common denominators. Step in the museum:
