This tour was absolutely one of the most unique ways that you can learn about jazz in Harlem. It's relaxed, informative, fun and certainly memorable. My tour was a little tailored, which I appreciated, and wished it lasted longer. I was very lucky to be in a small group, to ask a ton of questions and to participate in great... More

I'm not certain what makes this tour so memorable - whether it's Gordon's relaxed, friendly and knowledgable manner as a tour leader or whether it's because the experience takes you to places you would not contemplate negotiating yourself. Whatever, it's a professionally organised tour that enables you to experience Harlem's jazz and culture first hand. Gordon has access to the... More

My mother and aunt were in town visiting from Illinois and I wanted to treat them to a new, fun experience. This was that and so much more! We wandered the streets of Harlem with Gordon pointing out cool landmarks and telling great stories along the way. Each venue was so unique and we were welcomed with open arms. Gordon... More

Gordon met us at the hotel with his very nicely appointede bus to take us on a jazz tour of Harlem. Our 14 guests had a fabulous time as Gordon customized the tour to include our love of "Dive Bars". We saw great music up close and personal - everyone knew Gordon and stopped and chatted with our group. We... More

Had a great night with Gordon as he took me and four others around to very special jazz clubs around Sheridan Square in the West Village. Great way to hear about the history of jazz in NYC and to see some incredible acts. Gordon really knows his stuff about the immediate neighborhood and the jazz scene. For a Monday night,... More

As a true jazz aficionado, I had the time of my life with Gordon in Harlem. We were up close & personal with some red hot, cooking musicians. Meeting some of them was icing on the cake. I especially liked going to both traditional & improv clubs. Gordon shared great history on Harlem/jazz to provide more depth. Thanks Gordon for... More

Travelling by Subway to Harlem was something I would not have considered certainly not 10 years ago, however Gordon is a great host ( I won't call him a guide he exudes enthusiasm for his City, and his love of jazz and gives individually attention to all his guests.) He showed us Harlem as we walked to our first venue.... More

I went withthe Big Apple Jazz tour and loved it. Our guide brought us to places unknown for some great jazz sets.We visited The schrine, londel and Paris blue. Great musicians. The best was the first, the schrine.where the band included 7 musicians. Nice. The tour has reserved seating near the stage. What is most interesting is that you visit... More

A great cultural experience that gets under the skin and away from the usual tourist haunts. It presented the party with a real taste of grass roots music, providing a feel for the environment and the people who generate the real music. The tour was enhanced by Gordon's knowledge and his ability as a raconteur, giving a further historical and... More
