"If you want to try to hear the music in the city's bones the way a New Yorker like me does,
take a tour like Gordon Polatnick's Big Apple Jazz Tour..." ~ Gene Santoro from Welcome to New York2009 Student Jazz Tour Opportunities
Big Apple Jazz Tours offers you the chance to experience the most vital and impressive jazz scene in the world through never before available tours and jazz immersions exclusively designed by Gordon Polatnick for your groups to enjoy. We built our international reputation on introducing groups of all sizes to the authentic and diverse jazz scene that could only exist in New York City: home to all the legends from Duke Ellington to John Coltrane; and all the most famous clubs from the Savoy Ballroom and Minton’s Playhouse up in Harlem, to the Vanguard and Blue Note down in Greenwich Village.
The highlight of any trip to New York is the chance to visit an intimate, off-the-beaten path neighborhood club to hear the top jazz players go at it, and then have members of your group join in the session as welcomed guests. For a comparable price, many non-performing tour groups have also valued this interactive experience high above their night as passive observers of a Broadway show – and a night of jazz includes dinner as well!
Big Apple Jazz Tours provides the guide service and organization that you can trust will deliver the kinds of experiences groups come back for year after year.
For more information please call or email Gordon Polatnick for a private consultation: (718) 606-8442 or gordon@bigpplejazz.com. All age groups are easily accommodated.

"Thanks so much for putting together an unforgettable jazz evening in Harlem . The group loved being able to take the A Train into Harlem (made them feel adventuresome) as well as the outstanding dinner and music. I’m really glad I stayed and had a chance to enjoy the speakeasy. Both places, the dive and the speakeasy, sure had a great atmosphere and I loved being able to hear such great music in such a small close-up setting." ~ Catherine J. Heeg International Professional Speaker and Trainer - Calgary, Alberta, Canada |
| "...thank you for last Monday night and the invaluable tips which you gave us. I was a bit suspicious at the outset of our contact as I thought I could find out most or all things from the internet. But, there is in fact, nothing which surpasses local knowledge...There are venues around town that are tourist traps and there are other venues that involve the real thing presented by real people...I want to tell you about our experiences because I am so excited by them..." ~Mark Blumberg - President Jazz Action Society SOUTH AUSTRALIA Inc. "Promoting Australian Jazz and Jazz In Australia" |
| "Thank you so much for guiding me to that fantastic Monday Night Harlem Jam. Without your help I could have never been exposed to such a wonderful true jazz experience like that in my life. I now know what is the real jazz , the music and the atmosphere." ~Osamu - Chiba, Japan. |
| "It was a dream come true for Matt as he ably played his sax with the outstanding musicians assembled. He will never forget his many solos and especially the extremely warm reception." ~Jim Kane (Matt's Father) - Auburn, MA |
| "In addition to meeting and listening to some great characters the evening had a real bonus in that I enjoyed your company so much. Thanks again for a great night." ~Brain Mate Stoke on Trent - England |
| "Your tailor-made tour of jazz clubs was the indisputable highlight of our visit to New York." ~Kees Broekhof Trombonist and jazz enthusiast, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands |
| "When I tell people about the tour, I find that I am talking about you and your style as much as the music." ~Nat Carney, York, PA |
| "These places we went to...there is no way we would have seen these places without you. We want everybody to know that this tour is a must." ~Adrian Stoppelman and Graciela Rodriguez Buenos Aires, Argentina |
| "...Gordon proved to be so thoroughly knowledgeable of jazz locales and players that he could attune the tour to our personal tastes and experience with jazz...The others in our group of Philadelphia doctors, lawyers and professors thoroughly subscribe to the above." ~Dr. Jack Dobbyn - Philadelphia, PA |
