The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is on his way to the Midwest to Kansas City, Missouri, specifically to 1809 Grand Blvd, 64108 where the Green Lady Lounge is situated. This iconic jazz club serves up live music every night amid a retro vibe, scarlet walls, a marble bar, never a cover charge, open seating and doesn’t close its doors until 3:00am. As the saying goes, you don’t have to go home but…
With three separate stages – the Main Floor, Orion Room and the Black Dolphin there’s plenty of music choices for everyone. I’ll be arriving on Friday and plan to catch the last set of the Tim Whitmer Quartet from 5:30 – 8:30pm, the Boogaloo7 at 9:00pm and for those nightowls a set with the Matt Villinger Organ Trio begins at 12:30am. I may stick around KC and head back on Saturday to listen to the Chris Hazelton Trio at 9:00pm in the Orion Room.
The menu has two basic plates: cheese, Canadian bacon and crackers, and hummus and crackers to take the hunger edge off. If you desire more dine before you arrive. No reservations required but if you desire any more information call 816-215-2954. #wannabewhereyouare

Three Wishes
When asked what his three wishes would be Barry Harris replied:
- “Peace in the world.”
- “A room with a Steinway and a good record player, where I can be alone with all the Charlie Parker and Bud Powell records.”
- “The end of all ‘soul’, ‘funk’, and ‘rock ‘n’ roll jazz’!”

The Jazz Voyager
While the Jazz Voyager is on the West Coast he’s heading to northern California to find the heart he left in the city on the bay, well Oakland, that is. There I know I will be in good company for a performance of the Count Basie Orchestra as they celebrate over 80 years at Yoshi’s. This well known and respected jazz spot began in 1972 as a small, North Berkeley sushi bar owned by founder and namesake, Yoshie Akiba, alongside her two best friends Kaz Kajimura, a journalist and carpenter, and Hiroyuki Hori, a painter and Japanese cook.
With 310 seats, a state-of-the-art sound system and 17,00 square feet in the heart of Jack London Square, at 510 Embarcadero West 94607, they have expanded their roster to include broader genres of musical and comedic tastes.. So If you’re planning a visit check the calendar to insure your night of choice is jazz that you want to hear.
Always one for the late show this Jazz Voyager will be arriving Friday for the 10:00pm and not the 8. Tickets are reasonable at $37 and $34, respectively, and partake of some excellent Japanese cuisine. Reservations are always recommended at 510-238-9200. #wannabewhereyouare
