Description

Live music is back at NJMH! We welcome you back to one of our longest running programs, the Intergenerational Jazz Jam!  This program is curated and presented in partnership with one of our community partners, the Jazz Power Initiative. For years this jam session has taken place at the Museum, we are so excited to bring it back, this time with a live audience! Jazz Power Initiative (JPI) is a non profit, 501 (c) (3) organization founded in 2003. Jazz Power serves over 3100 New Yorkers and visitors annually - students, teachers, artists, seniors and general audiences, ages 8-80+, to promote youth development, and build more creative and inclusive communities through jazz music, theater and dance education and performance. Led by highly experienced teaching artists who are award-winning jazz, theater and dance professionals, JPI offers multidisciplinary training, scholarships and performance opportunities to New York City youth, ages 8-22, from every economic and social milieu at low or no cost to families, with extended outreach to students in under-served New York City public schools in Northern Manhattan. We currently engage over 500 students and their teachers annually, providing after-school instruction mainly in Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood (where our offices are located) and the Bronx. Our programs include after-school youth workshops at the United Palace; our monthly Intergenerational Jazz Power Jam at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem; local community senior center workshops, and our annual Jazz Power Institute at Lehman College (CUNY) for artists and educators.   We’re a thriving center for jazz in the heart of Harlem dedicated to sharing a love of this quintessentially American music. We offer free and low-cost concerts, exhibits, listening parties, tours and other events that bring our fantastic local and global community together through music. Visit us! We're located at 58 W 129th St, New York, NY 10027. Thurs-Mon 11am-5pm  Please note we are closed during the day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as Federal Holidays.   Disclaimer By attending a program at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem (NJMH), you accept our terms of service.
