Loft jazz

The loft jazz scene was a cultural phenomenon that occurred in New York City during the mid-1970s, at venues such as Environ, Ali's Alley, and Studio Rivbea, all in former industrial loft spaces in NYC's SOHO district. Hence, "Loft Jazz".

The scene was documented by Peter Occhiogrosso, Gary Giddins, the late Robert Palmer (author/producer), and Stanley Crouch.
