Tucked away on a quiet, residential block in Bedford Stuyvesant, a historic brownstone is keeping the sound of jazz very much alive.<\/p>\n
Inside the dimly lit room, the music doesn\u2019t just fill the space; it pulls you in. Shoulder to shoulder, people from all over become connected by the sound.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we hope to happen when people come through those doors is to feel like they’ve just transported themselves back to a different time,\u201d said Debbie McClean, owner of Brownstone Jazz.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brownstone Jazz was formed 17 years ago and holds performances every weekend from inside an 1887 brownstone home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For McClean, who comes from a family of music lovers, creating this space in her grandparents’ home makes it all the more special.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the music was being created, a lot of that music was being done in brownstones,\u201d said McClean. \u201cA lot of people don’t even realize how popular it was right here in Brooklyn, in Bedford-Stuyvesant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether on the drums, the sax, or the keys, it\u2019s a chance to hear from different musicians who have made their mark across the globe. Some are even Grammy award winners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
