Jazz is Instrumental to Black History Month!

Hi! We hope you enjoyed the holiday season with your friends, family, and loved ones. Our last gig at Jackson Room,"End Your Year on a High Note!" was a successful and uplifting heartfelt homage to the holiday season.

In this regard, we want to continue to go into this New Year with the same elevating energy and intensity focusing on our rich musical culture. January and February are very important months because we give pause to remember the contributions of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and also our ancestors in celebrating Black History Month. 

During January and February (Black History Month) we will be celebrating our contributions to the American Art form Jazz. We will also play music from African American composers who were instrumental in creating this original musical genre.

Some consider jazz the only truly original American musical art form and of course its roots began in the rhythmic soulful expressions of our ancestors in places like New Orleans and the Deep South. In the great historical migrations of Black people moving into the Northern Cities St. Albans, Queens, the town where Jackson Room is located, was a home of some of the most preeminent artists in jazz like: Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Lena Horne, and Thomas "Fats" Waller. 
We are therefore bringing the history of jazz back home starting this month. Our heritage inspired performances will start on Saturday, January 25th, 2014, and will feature the world class respected musicians:

George Cables - Piano 

Essiet O Essiet - Bass 

Lionel Cordew - Drums

Sax - Ed Jackson

So we'd love to see you there for...
