Samantha Latson reports on the Harlem celebration:

Harlem alone added nearly 175,000 new Black residents in the 1920s, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The influx set the stage for the Harlem Renaissance, a rich period of Black artistry when jazz styles like Harlem stride piano and swing flourished. 

Bebop followed, in the 1940s, with Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem serving as a key venue. In those days, extravagant crowds would gather to dance at the Savoy Ballroom, known as the “home of happy feet.” 

With the Big Band Jubilee, Ms. Abney wants to bring jazz back to its Harlem roots. Aaron Flagg, the chair and associate director of jazz studies at the Juilliard School, applauded the effort.
