Johnny Hartman Plaza
L’Artista is located right in front of Hartman Plaza, the park is named for Johnny Hartman (1923-1983), a distinguished vocalist who is best remembered for his recordings of romantic ballads. The parkland was originally called Hamilton Square, to honor Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804), once a resident of the neighborhood that has become known as Hamilton Heights. Hamilton was a founding father and one of America’s most influential statesmen for his articulation of Federalist principles. The square was renamed Johnny Hartman Plaza in 1984.
Drawing of the original Hamilton Grange before 1889.
A neighborhood in the northern part of Manhattan, which is a borough of New York City. It lies between Manhattanville to the south and Washington Heights to the north. It contains the sub-neighborhood of Sugar Hill.
Hamilton Heights is bounded by 135th Street to the south, Riverside Drive to the west, 155th Street to the north, and Edgecombe Avenue to the east. The community derives its name from Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, who lived the last two years of his life in the area when it was still largely farmland; specifically, he lived in what is now known as Hamilton Grange National Memorial.
Johnny Hartman
John Maurice Hartman (1923-1983) was an American jazz singer who specialized in ballads and earned critical acclaim, though he was never widely known. He recorded a well-known collaboration with the saxophonist John Coltrane in 1963 called John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, was briefly a member of Dizzy Gillespie's group and recorded with Erroll Garner. Most of Hartman's career was spent recording solo albums.
In the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, the traffic triangle formed by Amsterdam Avenue, Hamilton Place, and West 143rd Street was designated by the New York City Council in 1984 as Johnny Hartman Plaza.
