"Rubin was hired by trumpeter Roy Hargrove, with whom he had hit it off playing informal duos in the East Village. Hargrove was a marquee name, and Rubin, touring the world with his big band, attracted notice among the cognoscenti as a player and arranger, having contributed charts to the band."

During the 1930 perhaps even earlier, Harlem was not the only Jazz scene. Brooklyn had one as well. Bedford Stuyvesant had one of the largest Jazz neighborhoods around. Bed Stuy held many venues housing jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horn, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Hank Mobley, Abbey Lincoln, plus others. Paramount Theatre located in Brooklyn among other theaters held major Jazz Concerts. All things eventually changed, and jazz club fizzled out in favor of a different music generation. Uptown and Midtown changed as well. BrownstoneJAZZ is a fun loving atmosphere of live jazz for everyone.
You’re invited to spend a magical evening of music with Debbie and Eric taking you behind the scenes undercover some unheard of jazz history with a different experience. You can purchase the right ticket and get there early, meet the performers, before you take a seat for a Jazz Fest of a lifetime.
