Description
Discover the history and modern day jazz scene in New York on a leisurely walking tour of Greenwich Village. In the company of an expert jazz guide, visit hidden clubs and see great bands performing live - all cover charges are included in the tour price. Move from club to club (2 clubs per night) seeking out the energy for which the Village jazz scene is famous. Your guide will point out older clubs from jazz history, such as the Cafe Society, where Billie Holiday made her downtown debut, as well as other long gone clubs like Sweet Basil's, The Village Gate; and Cafe Bohemia, where Charles Mingus, Art Blakey and Miles Davis once introduced their latest compositions. Sign up for a Tuesday night tour to hear Trad jazz performed in a late night jam session filled with surprise guests. The tour ends smack in the middle of the best jazz scene in New York, where your guide will help you get to the next club on your own, or back to your hotel if you prefer.Includes
