The Five Points Ambassadors are a cornerstone of Denver’s jazz scene, known for preserving and celebrating the rich musical legacy of the historic Five Points neighborhood—often called the “Harlem of the West.” Led for decades by pianist Purnell Steen, the group blends classic jazz and blues with a distinctly local spirit, channeling the sounds of the clubs and legends that once defined the area.

For more than 30 years, the band has performed across Denver and beyond, sharing what they call “Five Points style”—a vibrant, soulful approach rooted in history, community, and a deep love of jazz.

Experience the energy of Five Points as live music fills the corridor for another unforgettable First Friday. From jazz tributes to late-night DJ sets, this month’s lineup brings together some of the city’s most respected artists and cultural spaces.
