Brooklyn historical tour/NYC jazz tour recommendations?

HI! Any recommendations for a good tour providing the history of Brooklyn? A wallking tour would be preferable.

Please also share your reccomendations for a good jazz tour in NYC.

Thanks!

I went on a terrific tour of Jazz at Lincoln Center (located in Time Warner building, not on the Lincoln Center campus), but it was sponsored by Open House NY which is held on a weekend every October. I'm not aware of JAL offering their own tours, but you can call them.

I would definitely suggest going to a performance in one of the several venues at JAL. They're wonderful. And all the venues were built specifically for jazz with great acoustics.

Thanks Centralparkgirl. Last year we went to Dizzy's Club Coca Cola and had a fantastic time.

For jazz tours contact Gordon at http://bigapplejazz.com

He's been doing them forever and he really knows what's possible in NYC.
