Roxanne Butterfly brings her renown bebop tap dance jam to the Gishen every Sunday night. This is the most hidden jazz club in Harlem. Gishen keeps it low key in terms of self-promotion and attains a comfortable neighborhood vibe where all are welcome. If you were trying to get off the beaten path, then beat it on down to Gishen Cafe and bring your axe and taps. Online-Review Jazz in the Parlor on Sugar Hill at The Harlem Jazz Gallery.
