THE JAZZ GALLERY ONLINE
On March 23rd, 2020 The Jazz Gallery began TJG Online!
With the physical shutdown in NYC due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we moved online with virtual and interactive jazz, and over the course of 2020-21 presented Livestream Concerts, weekly Lockdown Sessions, Happy Hour Hangs, Zoom Dance parties, the sharing of past archived performances live from The Jazz Gallery, plus special interviews & commentary with both musicians and major figures in the jazz world on our website on our blog.
And now, as life moves towards getting back to normalcy,
we are excited to move into the future with TJG Online as a permanent fixture of our programming.
We hope you’ll check back regularly and join us for music and community. We are thankful for each other and for the music and we appreciate your support of The Jazz Gallery, our staff, and musicians. Please stay safe and well!
If you would like to and are able, please consider a donation to support our musicians & staff.
THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS
The Lockdown Sessions began on April 11, 2020 as a way to present concerts during the pandemic that mitigated the sound issues that were present in early from-home Livestreams. For the Lockdown Sessions, each of the four musicians from each show present a short set of music pre-recorded from their homes (often including quite amazing video accompaniment) and chat and hang, answering questions and enjoying friendly banter in between sets.
Archives from late 2020-2021 Lockdown Sessions are available below. Prior to this Lockdown Sessions were ticketed events and are not available for viewing. However, there are some individual sets on our YouTube channel, which you can see here.
IN CONVERSATION WITH MIGUEL ZENON
In each episode saxophonist Miguel Zenón hosted a conversation & interview, discussing and sharing music, and answering questions via YouTube chat during the program.
"I started this series out of an interest to connect with my colleagues during this time of disconnection, and to bring conversations that usually take place away from the public eye (on planes, sound checks, dinners, etc...) and make them available on a more public platform. The idea is to make these conversations less about biographical information and more about music and musical interests and conceptions. That's why I always ask our guests to choose tracks (their own music or the music by others) which they would want to share and talk about." - Miguel Zenón
ALL EPISODES ARE NOW ARCHIVED, BUT YOU CAN STILL CHECK OUT

LIVE FROM THE JAZZ GALLERY
Live From The Jazz Gallery features videos & audio from past live shows, presented on our Youtube channel at the beginning of NYC’s lockdown in 2020.
The donations received from each show were shared directly with each artist as a way to show support for our musicians during a period of drastic loss of income.
