Tribeca Performing Arts Center's annual “Lost Jazz Shrines" series - a celebration, remembrance and examination of some of the more significant and historic defunct jazz venues in downtown Manhattan - will focus on Caf Bohemia.
Located in Greenwich Village at 15 Barrow Street, Caf Bohemia featured such great jazz stars of the 1950's as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, the Adderley Brothers and Charles Mingus. A number of classic jazz albums were recorded live at the club, such as “Art Blakey: Live at Caf Bohemia", among many others.
Our concerts will honor and illuminate the music of Julian “Cannonball" Adderley, Jimmy Smith and Oscar Pettiford. Concerts are held every other Friday with Humanities Program and Photo Exhibit.
