BrownstoneJAZZ FEST CONCERT SERIES

BrownstoneJAZZ SUNDAY AFTER BRUNCH TRIO brings a jazz-standards trio set to the BrownstoneJAZZ Fest Concert Series. The program is part of the venue’s Sunday presentation of classic jazz, with the series describing its ensembles as musicians from jazz’s earlier generations and current frontliners, “swinging with the authentic jazz style.” Curator Debbie McClain and bassist and MC Eric Lemons host the evening. The event takes place in the restored Victorian brownstone that houses Brownstone Jazz in Bedford-Stuyvesant; cocktail and period dress are encouraged.
This billing refers to a rotating BrownstoneJAZZ ensemble rather than a fixed, separately named group. Available information associates the series with vocalist Yvette Norwood-Tiger, bassist Eric Lemons, and musicians including Silvano Monasterios, Duane Ebanks, and Damon Duewhite, though no date-specific lineup is given for this performance. The ensemble’s musical identity is rooted in jazz standards and the series’ stated commitment to yesteryear’s “jazz soldiers” alongside today’s “jazz frontier musicians.” No reviews of the trio itself are available in the provided material, so this is best approached as a BrownstoneJAZZ house-style program rather than a documented appearance by a particular touring band.
Brownstone Jazz offers a rare chance to experience live jazz within the walls of a beautifully preserved 19th-century Victorian brownstone in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. The venue’s parlor, with its elegant plaster moldings and antique furnishings, creates a setting where the music feels close and personal, as if the musicians are playing just for you. Shows typically feature piano, bass, and drums, with performances on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, often in two sets. Seating is arranged at tables, encouraging attentive listening while sharing the space with fellow jazz lovers. A bar serves drinks, enhancing the relaxed yet focused mood. The venue’s history as a family home turned jazz hub adds depth to the experience, making an evening here feel like stepping back to a time when jazz thrived in Brooklyn brownstones.
