Harlem showed up and showed out! 🎷✨
Hosted by , , and , the plaza at the 125th Street State Office Building turned into an outdoor jazz party filled with live music, swing dancing, and classic Harlem energy.
Langston Hughes II and his band, alongside powerhouse vocalist Margi Gianquinto, brought the vibes with everything from swing favorites to Duke Ellington’s legendary “Caravan.” And when the band took a break, kept the dance floor alive with nonstop movement and good energy.
From longtime jazz lovers to first-time swing dancers, everybody got caught up in the music. Young, old, dancing, vibing, or just taking it all in - it was one of those perfect Harlem summer nights.
Big thanks to Senator Cordell Cleare, Councilmember Yusef Salaam, and I Love NY for helping make this happen.
More culture. More music. More Harlem.
Harlem Renaissance: Then. Now. Forever Inspired. 🎶
