Harlem native and legendary saxophonist Bill Saxton has launched his own jazz parlor
-
Styled after the speakeasies and jazz joints of 1920s and '30s Harlem, Bill Saxton
serves up real jazz and tells the story of the history of the original "Swing Street".
Billie Holiday, Willie "The Lion" Smith, and Mae West, Langston Hughes, and "Moms"
Mabley, who all strolled, sang, and played their ways down W133rd, and yes -
Mr. Saxton is so proud to be one of those characters, doing his part to perpetuate the culture and spirit of the original "Swing Street" with Bill’s Place.
Bill performs two shows every Friday night, 10PM and 12AM. Admission is $15 per person.
