The National Jazz Museum in Harlem is dedicated to preservation and celebration of the jazz history, culture and music of Harlem, Manhattan, New York City. The museum was founded in 1996 by Leonard Garment, then Counsel to two U.S. presidents and an accomplished jazz saxophonist, Abraham David Sofaer, former U.S. district judge who gave the initial gift in honor of his brother-in-law Richard J. Scheuer, Jr., and matching funds from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, Harlem Community Development Corporation. For more than 15 years, the museum was in East Harlem at 104 East 126th Street.
On February 1, 2016, the museum re-opened in a new space at 58 West 129th Street in Central Harlem with approximately 1900 square feet of exhibition space.
