JAZZ NEWS - NYC

Visitors Center Renovations As usual, there's never a dull moment here at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and we want make sure that all of our friends and family are kept up to date on the most recent developments. As many of you know, we will be renovating our exhibit space, and will be closed for the summer months starting July 28th and reopening on October 1st. However, our regularly scheduled programming is continuing at its regular pace. In August, we'll be joining forces with our friends at Jazz At Lincoln Center. There will be a Benny Goodman Listening Party on the 18th and a continuation of our South African series on the 28th - see our website for details. September will bring the debut of a new series of programs that will continue throughout the rest of the year, as well as the premiere of a new exhibit on Latin Jazz. The exhibit opens at the Bronx Museum of Art on September 14th, and there will also be a free concert to kick things off. Again, details will be posted on our museum calendar at www.jmih.org Stay tuned!
