Harlem Gospel Choir Sings Sunday at the Blue Note
Sunday, November 8, doors at 1:30 pm, the Blue Note jazz club on West Third Street in Greenwich Village.
Sunday afternoon at the Blue Note brings the Harlem Gospel Choir to the stage, with the choir headlining and no support act listed. Doors open at 1:30 pm, and the start time is not listed. The club, at 131 West Third Street, is a short walk from Washington Square Park.
What to expect
Gospel music is built for voices in full flight, and a choir of this kind brings call and response, full harmony and a warm, communal feel. The energy of a choir in a jazz room is a special pleasure: the crowd sings along, and the room seems to lift.
A little about the choir
The Harlem Gospel Choir takes its name from Harlem, where the gospel tradition runs deep through the churches that have shaped the neighborhood's music for generations. Its shows draw on that heritage, and the group has taken its sound on tour well beyond New York.
