Sail into the Rhythm with NYC Ferry

April is National Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM). New York has a prominent past with the history of Jazz hosting many of the greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington. In the Big Apple, the art of jazz is alive and well. We are Jazzed to share ways to celebrate Jazz new and old along NYC’s waterfront.

A Smooth Commute with Smoother Tunes

Listen to Ragtime on the Rockaway Route or sing the Blues to Bay Ridge check out NYC Ferry’s Jazz Appreciation Month Playlist On Spotify. You’ll be in a New York State of mind listening to New York Themed songs and notable New York Jazz artists during your next commute.

Sail to a Show
