Description

As spontaneous, free, and chaotic as live jazz can be, there's a certain decorum at the Blue Note. To enter, one must reserve a spot in the bruise-blue and mirror-decorated room at either the bar (roughly $20, depending) or a table ($30, same deal). There, you can order up some filet mignon or pan-roasted salmon, and sip wine while chaos enfolds on the bandstand maybe four feet away. It's impressively authentic here: the jazz veterans who sit in each night are less than six degrees of separation from the greats, i.e. Miles Davis or Herbie Hancock, and six feet from your table.

Finesse leaps from the stage when the guitarist’s piano quartet raises the roof. Sco’s intrepid nature is a clarion call, and his associates invariably spill forward with him, giving standards and originals an audacious edge that teems with old-sc... More »
Chick Corea

By Jim Macnie | Wed, October 26, 2011

Enjoying a full career in jazz usually means having a finger in many pies, and for the last half-century, the veteran pianist has been all about variety. This month, he’ll bring several of his key projects to the West Village club, and we’re parti... More »
Pat Metheny w/ Larry Grenadier

By Jim Macnie | Wed, September 28, 2011

Guitarist Metheny has been sating his sentimental side as of late, his latest disc trafficking in luminous solo spins through the old favs like the Carpenters and Stylistics. Still, he always sounds best during interactive scenarios, and his rappo... More »
