The Rough Guide to New York City, 2012
"Insider Gordon Polatnick offers a fabulous
introduction to the Harlem jazz scene
with walking
and bus tours that typically take in some of the lesser-known clubs
and plenty of jazz history."

Rhythm of the Street
by Paul Willis
"In the back, the band has set up on a small
stage: a dusty upright against the wall,
the contours of the sax reflected in a solitary spotlight. 'Billie Holiday
played here when she was a teenager,' Gordon Polatnick, our guide, says, as the
heavyset piano man strikes the chords of the first number..."

Broke-Ass
Stuart's Guide to Living Cheaply in New York City
"My favorite thing about this place is that it kinda acts as a hang out for
everyone
in the neighborhood who gives a fuck about the past, present, and uncertain
future of Harlem. I ended up getting into this crazy 25 minute
conversation
with a lady about the politics of gentrification in New York. It's strange
to be
in Harlem right now and watch the neighborhood change right in front of your
eyes.
Hopefully there will always be space for places like Big Apple Jazz."
