Jazz in NYC

Jazz in NYC
A couple of week's ago I was in NYC for a few days. The day before I arrived NYC set a record high temperature for that day of 94 degrees, breaking the previous record set in 1919. Thunderstorms were predicted for the next day. They didn't materialize, but it was hot and muggy, and sometimes drizzly.

Anyhow, the Smoke Jazz and Supper Club was about 4 blocks from my hotel.

Quote: (Smoke) was founded on April 9, 1999, by Paul Stache and Frank Christopher, who, as partners, conceived, designed, and spearheaded its interior renovation. The venue ...had been Augie's Jazz Bar, which opened in 1976 and closed in August 1998. The owners regard Smoke as the enduring legacy of Augie's and often measure its tenure in jazz history to the beginning of early days of Augie's.

I looked into attending, but they had a $45 cover charge and $25 minimum purchase. So I went instead to a small bar that served food, drinks and craft beers. But after awhile I decided I would hit up Smoke. I ended up wandering up and down Amsterdam Ave in a drizzling rain without finding it. Turns out it was another block up on Broadway.

Quote:The owner of Smalls Jazz Club, Mitchell Borden, had been a frequent patron of Augie's and founded his club desirous of a similar model, one that allowed musicians and ensembles to perform frequently so that they could develop.

Smalls is where Haley and Keith went one night. I considered going there the next night but nixed that because it was downtown and the subway stops by my hotel had notices posted that the B and C trains no longer went downtown late at night. There was an alternative route but it was complicated for a novice rider like myself.

So I opted for Dizzy's club. Or, more precisely, "Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola - Jazz at Lincoln Center." It's located at The Shops at Columbus Circle, roughly the SW corner of Central Park -- pretty much the end (start) of the line for the B and C lines late at night.

The cover was $40, but I decided to go for it as it was Friday (my last night in NYC) and I didn't want to spend it in the hotel room. I didn't have a ticket, so I waited in a standby line with about a dozen others to get in the 9:30 pm show. Along with the man who arrived immediately after me, I was seated at a table near the stage with a couple who had been admitted earlier. He was older and looked like he had money and she was dressed as though she was interested in getting it. He didn't look pleased at our arrival.

The club is on the fifth floor and the backdrop for the stage is a large window overlooking Central Park with tall buildings beyond it.

The late show, sometime after 11 p.m., was somewhat cheaper but I didn't opt for it as it listed two guy's names and I wasn't interested in paying to hear two guys play.

What we got instead was a bunch of seasoned musicians. The guy on the upright bass looked like he was pushing 80. They were good. But I didn't enjoy the show that much as it didn't seem that spontaneous and many of their numbers sounded somewhat alike.

They have been performing for decades, and this was their second show of the night, so there didn't seem to be much spark to their performance.

I and my seatmate had settled our tabs and where prepared to leave as the club has a reputation for quickly clearing the room between shows. On this night though the waitress invited us to stay. My seatmate, who was something of a jazz aficionado, observed the new crowd was much younger and there were many music schools in the area.

There weren't just two guys taking the stage, it was a complete band of young musicians -- piano, upright bass, drums, trumpet, clarinet and saxophone -- so we decided to wait and check them out.

They hadn't even played for a minute before I decided it was time to open up another tab and sit back and enjoy the music. There's a reason they have a following of sorts -- they are all talented and clearly enjoy playing together.

I later learned the saxophone player -- one of the names -- plays in the band that has become the new house band for Stephen Colbert.



The sax player and the other "name," the clarinet player:

Playing the sax to "Cumberland Gap:"
