Owned and operated by Sonny Meyerowitz, Sonny’s Place was a musical landmark from the 1970s through the 1990s. The small room welcomed jazz giants like Count Basie, Billy Eckstine, and Sarah Vaughan, while also nurturing the vibrant community of local musicians who helped shape Long Island’s jazz scene. Decades later, its legacy still resonates. Mention Sonny’s Place to jazz musicians and fans, and the stories immediately begin, memories of unforgettable performances, late-night jam sessions, and a room where the music truly came alive. Jazz at the Barn, inspired by the spirit of Sonny’s Place, continues that tradition of honoring jazz and the artists who keep it thriving.
