The jazz loft lives in this intimate, out-of-the-way, art-filled second floor room, where Randy Weaton, Vijay lyer and Yosuke Yamashita have played the piano from defunct Bradley's, Bookings reflect a progressive, internationalist perspective.
Rated ne of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world by Downbeat in 2004, The Jazz Gallery is a not-for-profit jazz cultural center providing performance and exhibition space for work in the arts - visual, literary and musical - that takes jazz as its central influence. Their goal is to present an expanded understanding of jazz as a cultural tradition which brings music together with other arts and thus extends far beyond its musical form. Founded in 1995, the Gallery is also chartered as a New York State museum.
The Jazz Gallery is located at 290 Hudson Street (between Spring and Dominick streets) in the visual arts center of Soho. Greenwich Village, the heart of the world's greatest concentration of internationally prominent jazz clubs, is nearby. The area is convenient to great shopping and dining, and may be reached by taking the C or E train to Spring Street, or the 1 or 9 train to Houston Street. |
