Their words:
Baha’is know the New York City Baha’i Center as a place to convene for Study Circles, devotional gatherings and Holy Day celebrations. Thanks to New York City Baha’is Mike and Dorothy Longo, organizers of the seven-year-old concert series Jazz Tuesdays, musicians and music lovers have come to know the Center as a unique venue for jazz. Each Tuesday night, fans can see two sets of jazz in a smoke and alcohol-free environment for the affordable admissions fee of $15 and $10 for students with ID.
Our words:
The Bahá'í Center features the John Birks Gillespie Auditorium, dedicated to the late Dizzy Gillespie. The Tuesday Night Jazz series led by Gillespie's former pianist, Mike Longo, celebrates his legacy through music.
