It also as an extensive library of sheet music and videos of the Harlem Renaissance period and performance venue where one may catch a performance of up and coming artists.
Interesting Facts About the Eubie Blake Jazz Museum and Cultural Center
  • James Hubert ‘Eubie’ Blake was a child of former slaves born in Baltimore, Maryland. He was an American pianist, lyricist, and composer of ragtime, jazz, and popular music

  • Eubie Blake’s musical genius was discovered by accident. While shopping with his mother, he wandered into a music shop, climbed on the bench of an organ, and began “foolin’ around”. When his mother found him, the store manager said to her: “The child is a genius! It would be criminal to deprive him of the chance to make use of such a sublime, God-given talent.”.
