BrownstoneJAZZ, located in a 19th-century Bed-Stuy brownstone, is an intimate venue that encapsulates Brooklyn's jazz history with a romantic ambiance and live performances. Co-founded by Debbie McClain and Eric Lemons, it serves as a speakeasy, performance space, and black history museum. Every weekend, it showcases local jazz talent amidst vintage decor, including retro lamps and framed photographs of jazz legends. The performances are a tribute to the area’s historical significance in the music world, bringing joy and nostalgia to audiences while drawing in a younger audience through social media platforms.
