Marjorie Eliot's Parlor Entertainment Harlem

Located inside 555 Edgecombe Avenue—a historic Harlem building that once housed African American greats—Marjorie Eliot's parlor hosts a uniquely personal live jazz experience. Finding it is part of the ritual: with no signs outside, you buzz yourself into the building, head up to apartment 3F on the third floor, and follow the music. The family welcomes guests into the living room for a soulful, two-hour performance, often handing out water or cold ginger beer. While there is no ticket fee, arriving 30 minutes early is key to securing a seat, and contributions are gathered via a passed collection bucket or QR code.
