Last night I stopped by the legendary jazz spot called Showman's Bar in Harlem, NY. Over the years this club has featured some of the jazz greats; Sarah Vaughan, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Eartha Kitt, Pearl Bailey since 1942.This Friday and Saturday features Ms. Cynthia Holiday who blends jazz and blues with style, class and fun. Her debut CD will be released this fall. The band was kicking and the crowd was live. Last night in attendance was socialite Janice Coombs and Kevin Powell -motivational speaker/activist and former Real World star, who I hear is running for Congress.
If you are ever in Harlem and want a nice evening out to hear live jazz check out Showman's
