The Jazz WaHi Vocal Series presents some of New York City’s finest jazz singers in an intimate club setting, followed by a Vocal Jam! The series happens on the first Monday of every month.
The Vocal Series was created in 2016 with the addition of the Vocal Jam in 2022. During this time it has evolved into a vibrant gathering of singers and Washington Heights residents creating a space for jazz singers and lovers of jazz vocal music.
Le Cheile is a listening room that seats 40 people. Food and drinks served. Doors open at 7 pm. Just a hop, skip, and jump from the A train. One set only at 7:30. Vocal Jazz Jam to follow. Singers must attend the featured set to be invited to sing at the Jazz Jam.
Please note: if the first Monday falls on a holiday, schedules may change.
