The Apollo Theater
253 West 125th St.
New York, NY
The Jazz Foundation of America presents its 9th annual “A Great Night in Harlem" gala concert to benefit our Jazz Musicians Emergency Fund. This evening will raise money to assist countless elder jazz and blues musicians in crisis across the country, artists who have spent their lives making ours richer with their music.
Held at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, the concert brings together more than 50 legends of the Music to say “thank you" for keeping the Musicians and the Music alive.
The theme of this year's concert is “A History of the Music." Part of this historic event will be celebrating the 100th birthday of jazz legend Max “The Saxman" Lucas, who played with Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Muddy Waters, to name a few, and still rides the subway to get to his gigs!
