As an accompanying program to our current “Harlem Blues & Jazz Band” exhibit, we will present another jazz concert performance, on July 12 at 1:00 PM, featuring “The Nate Lucas All-Stars” led by Nate Lucas, son of Max Lucas of Harlem Blues and Jazz Band. This talented ensemble – which includes Lucas on organ, John Smith on guitar, and John Cooksey on drums – will bring the sounds of Harlem to Suffolk County.

ABOUT Harlem Blues & Jazz Band: Harlem Blues and Jazz Band was formed in 1973, when a passionate music aficionado, Dr. Al Vollmer, recognized that a significant pool of the great NYC jazz musicians of the 1920s and 30s had retired as musicians. Motivated to revive their talents, Vollmer encouraged these talented artists to pick up their instruments once again, and Harlem Blues and Jazz Band was formed. The band was established not only to continue the legacy of the country’s greatest jazz ensembles but also to pay homage to the genre’s roots: The Blues.

Don’t miss our accompanying exhibit on the history of the Harlem Blues and Jazz Band: “The Harlem Blues and Jazz Band: The Trilogy of Jazz,” on display through July 2025 in our Gish Gallery. Regular museum admission applies. Gallery Hours: Weds. to Sat., 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM.
