Big Apple Jazz Café is the home base for New York jazz as well as the first stop for any visiting jazz lover or novice. We provide the necessary information to get each patron on the right track for finding their perfect fit for live music. Located in the heart of Harlem’s jazz district on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (7th Ave.) between 131st and 132nd, Big Apple Jazz is in a prime location for navigating Harlem from a historical and modern perspective. Being only a stones throw from legendary clubs such as Minton’s Playhouse, Lenox Lounge and St. Nick’s Pub gives us the best starting line-up for jazz listening and club hopping. Also, Big Apple Jazz is proud to present newer venues such as Bill’s Place, the Shrine and Mobay’s with the same respect as the more renowned establishments. The ambiance provided by Big Apple Jazz is one of intimacy and family friendliness. Everyone is welcomed through the doors as a family would welcome relatives who have traveled from afar to visit. In the feel of being welcomed home, muffins and cupcakes are available to everyone who enters in hopes that they will stay for a while. The café opens at noon everyday and the live music kicks off at 2pm. Each day, travelers from far and wide swing through to visit Big Apple Jazz and revel in the hand-carved ambiance of EZ’s Woodshed.
