The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is off once again flying the friendly skies on his way to St. Petersburg to take in a couple of sets at Dom 7. This Russian 80 table seat venue is located at Griboyedov Canal, 7, 191186. It is a unique new territory of jazz within a cozy, romantic atmosphere and an integral part of the life of the cultural capital. Having become a favorite place for professional, famous musicians, evening jazz concerts and nightly jam sessions are combined with delicious food and fine wine.
The jazz bar opens everyday at noon and closes at midnight on weekdays, 2:00am on weekends. Minors are prohibited entrance after 10:00pm, per Federal law No. 124. However, entrance is free but reservations are highly recommended by calling +7 812 314-82-50. An evening out at Dom 7 has a moderate expectation of $$ for food and drinks.
Tonight the Jazz Voyager will be checking out The Natalia Squortech Quartet beginning at 9:30pm. Having no idea what this quartet will sound like, this will truly be an adventure. However the following video gives me an idea of what to anticipate from this venue.
