How do you like the new site?
Big Apple Jazz Tours is proud to announce we are celebrating our 20th year in business with a website face lift. We want to thank David and Kristin and the team at Fare Harbor for the excellent work and invaluable help getting the site up and running.
The content from the former website will be re-located here in the coming weeks and months, as well as all new content. Please keep in touch with Gordon Polatnick here if you have any special requests or questions that you think we can help you with.
The mission is to have a space on the internet where the New York City jazz scene – from the neighborhood dive bars to the world famous jazz clubs – can be celebrated by music lovin’ fans and musicians alike. We look forward to sharing these experiences with you on a unique and intimate Big Apple Jazz Tour. When you’re ready, let us show you where it’s at!
