Birdland is located at 315 West 44th street between 8th and 9th avenues in
Manhattan.
Call (212) 581-3080 for reservations and information.
In April of 2003 I visited the legendary Birdland (http://www.birdlandjazz.com/) to take
in the Chico O'Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz Big Band. Arturo "Chico" O'Farrill is a
Cuban music legend and led this very band up until his death in 2001. Arturo Jr.
has since taken the reins, although someone else was filling in for him the
night I saw the group. No matter, they're a tight unit with a great feel for
latin jazz. Staff at Birdland were friendly and helpful, and the bartender makes
an excellent sidecar. Venue and group both come highly recommended. |

 The Village Vanguard is located at 178-7th Avenue South. That's on
7th Avenue just below West 11th Street in Greenwich Village. Nearest
subway:1,9,2 or 3 (local or express) at the 14th Street stop.
After dinner, Thanksgiving 2003, my partner and I split from the party and
hit the Village Vanguard
(www.villagevanguard.com) for an intimate evening with soul-jazz/bop legend
Lou Donaldson. |
