Presented in partnership with History Colorado’s Blaxplanation program, Harlem of the West: A Tribute to Five Points’ Jazz Era brings the music, style, and spirit of Denver’s historic Five Points neighborhood to Dazzle for an evening of live jazz, visual storytelling, and historic interpretation.
Featuring songs from the 1930s through the 1950s, the concert will honor the sounds once heard in the clubs, stages, and gathering places that made Five Points nationally known as the “Harlem of the West.”
Performances by JoFoKe, Tenia Nelson, Tony Exum Jr., Matt Campbell, Carl Jackson, and Hugh Ragin will evoke the energy of Denver’s jazz-era nightlife.
History Colorado shares curated collection displays of:

Guests are encouraged to come in their best jazz-era inspired looks — vintage glamour, sharp suits, cocktail dresses, hats, gloves, suspenders, pearls, polished shoes and all the Harlem of the West elegance you can bring.
