A Great Night in Harlem Tickets

A Great Night in Harlem is more than a name on a marquee—it's a thread in the fabric of New York City's jazz legacy. Since the Jazz Foundation of America (JFA) began hosting its iconic gala at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in 2001, this performer has helped illuminate stages where history & heart meet. Proceeds from the gala fund the Jazz Musicians’ Emergency Fund and related programs that support housing, medical care, disaster relief, and employment for musicians in need. The event has drawn generations of artists across jazz, blues, rock, and soul, delivering unforgettable collaborations and community impact. Next event date: Date to be announced.

From archival releases to live performances, A Great Night in Harlem represents a collaboration-first ethos: a chance for legends and rising stars to share the Apollo stage. A 2-CD archival release, A Great Night in Harlem (2002), documents performances from the Apollo show, tying historical roots to modern generosity.
