The Jazz WaHi Weekly Jazz Jam

- The WaHi Weekly Jazz Jam: since February 2015, this jam has provided a way for the many jazz musicians in Washington Heights (and beyond) to gather at a neighborhood restaurant (originally Le Cheile), play music, and network, while providing free, live jazz for our neighborhood. In May 2021, we moved the jam to Kismat Restaurant. During the pandemic, we began offering outdoor sessions at Bennett Park (site of the highest natural point in Manhattan!). February 4, 2025 marked our 10 year anniversary (and our 532nd jam): over 600 musicians have played, over 1,000 folks have listened. No cover - no minimum! Never a long opening set - the jam starts when you arrive!
Come play or hang with us! Tuesdays, 7:30 - 10:00 Kismat. 603 Ft. Washington Ave at w. 187 www.kismatindiannyc.com and... Join us Every Wednesday. 4:00 - 5:15 (resuming spring 2026, and always weather permitting). WaHi Weekly Jazz Jam in Bennett Park Ft. Washington Ave. between w. 183 & 185 sts.
