The restored 1800's Victorian Brownstone building in a Landmarked Historical District of Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn presents an acoustic sound room concert series that offers a fish fry buffet.
BrownstoneJAZZ is an authentic jazz vibe. Imagine retreating back to a different time and spend the evening in an intimate setting. Experience the enjoyment of a live Jazz Concert, a Southern Fish Fry Buffet and Open Mic that will delight your palette. Included in the experience is an Upright Grand Piano, once used to create some of today's classic Jazz tunes grouped alongside other acoustic style instruments in what we call THE ROOM.
During the 1930s, perhaps even earlier, one didn't have to go to Manhattan for the Jazz scene, Brooklyn had one of it's own. Bedford Stuyvesant had the largest Jazz community in Brooklyn. The neighborhood held many venues that housed the jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horne, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley and others. All that eventually changed, and jazz clubs fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music.
Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban Bed and Breakfast is seeking to revive the local jazz scene of the past, along with partner Eric Lemons.
Debbie McClain and Eric Lemons, an accomplished string musician and Co-Foundering partner for BrownstoneJAZZ, value authenticity and selectiveness, when deciding who to feature and when.
No bells, whistles or amps. This is Salon Jazz: intimate, classic, acoustic, plain and simple, every Friday and Saturday night.
You're invited to a magical evening of music as Debbie and Eric take you behind the scene of this undercover jazz venue. You can get there early to meet the performers and others, as you take a seat for a jazz fest experience of a lifetime, these two host will present you with today's best Jazz Artists.
Included in your evening will be a traditional Southern fish fry buffet. Cooked on site in a traditional way.
FYI
Debbie McClain never set out to own a BnB, but once she did, magic happened. A hairstylist by trade, her grandparent's 1939 home fell into her lap to save and maintain. Much bad energy once filled the property, but she knew that music would cleanse this 19th century home.
Debbie McClain, once a long time piano student, is just one of a 6th generation family of music lovers. Also, at the same time, she wanted to be able to show and share the beauty of homes from Brooklyn begone.
Continuing the history of the neighborhood, a group of jazz locals and broadway greats, like Blue Note recording artist James Spaulding, Trombonist/Euphonist Kiane Zawadi and vocalist Keisha St. James, aside actress/singer BoncellIa Lewis, gather each week and connect over music in a tradition that's diminished, but clearly not lost, along with a style of living from another time.
BrownstoneJAZZ now offers other tours along with other delicious beverage and bites, on special days and times.
