We spent two hours listening to a great set. The Church was bright and airy and the quality of music fabulous. Great vibe and something a little different from the norm in NYC.

My husband and I attended the “Harlem Safe House Jazz Parlor” event featuring the Oliver Lake Group on May 4th. The music was outstanding. The experience was unique and intimate. The entire Harlem Jazz Boxx series is a true treasure for music lovers. Check it out! You’ll be glad you did. Many thanks to Craig and the Jazz Boxx team.
We loved this activity. Our tour guide, a Harlem resident, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the multi-ethnic population of Harlem both past and present. The brunch was in a well-chosen and delicious restaurant; the group was congenial. We definitely recommend this.
