About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

After the stellar success of our previous events, we couldn't resist hosting another auditory adventure for you. Join us on May 17th at 1 pm in our Jazz room for a Listening Party.

Seating is limited to maintain the intimate atmosphere that makes these parties so special, but fret not – admission is free! Due to the high anticipated interest, we recommend snagging your spot early!

Get ready to groove with Matthew 'Fat Cat' Rivera from The Hot Club of New York and WKCR, our fantastic host for the day. We'll be spinning Armstrong's magic from rare original 78s and test pressings, creating an unforgettable musical journey.

Bring your own original 78s or LPs to the party, as we open the floor for you to share your musical treasures. Your participation is not just welcomed; it's encouraged!

Let's make this Listening Party a celebration of diverse sounds and shared passions. 🎺
