NOTICE:
Bill’s Place at 148 W133rd in Harlem, NY USA is now open!
New BillSaxton.com website coming soon!
Harlem native and legendary saxophonist Bill Saxton has launched his own jazz parlor
- "Bill's Place" located at 148 West 133rd Street, between Lenox and Seventh Avenues.
Styled after the speakeasies and jazz joints of 1920s and '30s Harlem, Bill Saxton
serves up real jazz and tells the story of the history of the original "Swing Street".
Billie Holiday, Willie "The Lion" Smith, and Mae West, Langston Hughes, and "Moms"
Mabley, who all strolled, sang, and played their ways down W133rd, and yes - even
#148, are all characters in this amazing chapter in Harlem history. Mr. Saxton is
so proud to be one of those characters, doing his part to perpetuate the culture
and spirit of the original "Swing Street" with Bill’s Place.
