About our venue

The Jazz Gallery is located in the bustling neighborhood of NOMAD; the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park to our south, and the Empire State Building a few blocks to the north. Nestled in between these two iconic buildings are old merchant stores, exclusive boutiques, and many restaurants and hotels. We moved here from our original venue in SOHO in 2012, and are excited to be a part of such a changing and interesting neighborhood.

We’re located on the 5th floor, and are one of those elusive NYC institutions with no signage up during the day as our building is landmarked and we aren’t allowed. So, you have to be in the know to know! On the evenings that we have shows (usually Wednesday - Saturday), you will see our signs up, and will be greeted downstairs by one of our friendly staff (who are mostly all musicians themselves, and who you may hear practicing as you approach!). They will direct you upstairs to where The Jazz Gallery is situated, in a loft-like space and our reputable stage.

The Jazz Gallery is all about the music! We are not a cocktail bar, nor a restaurant; we have wine available by donation. We hope you’ll join us to enjoy some incredible music booked by one of the most talented Artistic Directors the NY Jazz scene has ever seen, Rio Sakairi, who has been booking musicians at The Gallery since it opened in 1995. Afterwards, there are many wonderful restaurants and bars to enjoy in the neighborhood to continue your night!

Please note:
To ensure that you can attend a show, please purchase advance tickets. General seating is not assigned, and is on a first-come first-served basis. You can pick your own seat at one of our cabaret tables.

We are an all-ages venue.

The Jazz Gallery’s Mission

The Jazz Gallery is America’s premier performance venue for emerging artists who challenge convention, take creative risks and lead their field as performers, composers and thinkers. Through residencies, commissions, performances, and exhibitions, we provide a platform for artists to discover their unique voice and a home for established musicians to continue to experiment and grow while being committed to removing barriers to participation and to advancing a diverse representation of cultural backgrounds. At The Jazz Gallery, artists and audiences come together from around the world to explore new creative ideas, collaborate and celebrate jazz as a dynamic art form that reflects our ever- changing world.

 Values

Where The Future Is Present

We believe that our purpose at The Jazz Gallery is to celebrate creativity, build community, and raise awareness around Jazz, a powerful and life changing medium; an art form that was born out of slavery and forged by the sheer strength of human spirit, incredible resilience, and inner beauty that all human beings possess.  This Black American Folk Music we now call jazz is so generous in its spirit that it allows room for everyone to join in. It welcomes dissonance and finds resolutions in most unexpected ways. Practitioners of this art form must learn to listen well and serve something bigger than themselves: the music.

The Jazz Gallery is dedicated to fostering the artistic growth and voices of musicians in the world of Jazz, a distinctly American art form which grew out of the African-American experience. With this principle guiding our mission, the values of diversity, racial equity, and inclusion are integrally woven into the heart of what we do. However, we recognize there is always more work to be done. The Jazz Gallery continually seeks to reimagine policies and business practices through these values while also staying deeply rooted in our community and our commitment to Jazz and improvised creative music in New York City. We are committed to removing barriers to participation and to advancing a diverse representation of cultural backgrounds. We strive to fulfill these commitments through a process of examination, self-interrogation, learning, and visioning, while accepting the work will never be finished.

Jazz has been a generous and nurturing guiding force for everyone involved in The Jazz Gallery, and we wholeheartedly believe in its ability to foster understanding, encourage unity, and deepen our humanity. We always want to be in service of this music, and not to use it as a tool. Arts, particularly music by nature, is a powerful thing and all of us who deal with it have a great responsibility. Regardless of race, socio-economic status, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, gender, or marital status, we are an organization that celebrates the richness of our community and of our work within it.

THANK YOU for signing up to our mailing list!

We look very forward to seeing you at a show at The Gallery soon.
