VITAL ORGANISTS Seleno Clarke is a Harlem resident and jazz musician who started as a sax player but ended up devoting his life to the organ. The story that we heard from our good buddy Jon Kirby, who lives uptown and works on the Carolina Soul archive (so he knows about things like this), is that about twenty years ago, Clarke was given an organ but needed a place to put it. (It's hard to fit one in your apartment.) He asked the folks at The American Legion up on 132nd St if he could use their basement, and they said yes. It sits there to this day, and every Sunday night from 7 to midnight, he keeps it active with a soul food-fueled jam session that features all kind of surprise guests sitting in on the Hammond B3. The American Legion Post 398 // 248 W 132nd St, Manhattan // free // more info // directions
