NEW YORK
Bill's Place
In 2006, Bill opened “Bill’s Place”, located in Harlem,
NY USA - a historical jazz landmark. In 1927 during prohibition, the
famous Swing Street, 133rd Street between Lenox and Seventh Avenues, was
the after hours hangout for Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Moms Mabley,
Langston Hughes, and the like. The popular joint at 148 West 133rd, a
speakeasy, was home to Willie "the Lion" Smith on piano and was one of
the places Harlem for young Billie Holiday to develop her singing. Today
this same space is now alive and full of the spirit of the jazz of the
past. “Bill’s Place” is continuing the purist legacy of serious
straight-ahead-jazz. Bill Saxton lives his African American heritage and
represents Harlem at its best. He is Jazz.
The Village Vanguard
The Village Vanguard is the world's greatest
jazz club. John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins,
Bill Evans, and Wynton Marsalis are just a few
of the musicians who have recorded
classic
albums here. Sure, the tables are small and the
basement room rumbles with
the passing subway.
But if you only have time for one jazz club in New
York,
The Vanguard is the one.
