From the artist:

Stormy Monday: New York’s Uptown Jazz Scene is a photography book about jazz and about Harlem. The photographs were taken in various clubs, pubs, bars and lounges primarily in the Harlem community of New York City. These are neighborhood places where musicians come to jam with each other and hone their skills, and patrons come to have a few drinks, enjoy the music and hang out with old friends. The photographs roughly cover the period from 1994 through 2005, with most of the images depicting the mid-1990s, before Harlem became hot real estate territory and the scene started to change.
