The Jazz Voyager

Leaving the Bay and wanting to drive down the PCH to Los Angeles but not sure I want to take that twelve hour drive over an hour and a half flight. What to do, what to do. I do have four days to enjoy the sights along the way like Big Sur, Japantown, Winchester Mystery House or catch some whale watching. So with beautiful weather ahead, it’s off to pick up the rental car. A drop top I believe is in the order.

Twelve hours and three days later I am pulling up to the front door of The Baked Potato, a very low key spot, intimate and cozy by design, So don’t be put off by the waitress staff dressed in yoga pants and running sneakers. They say for the best sound it’s best to sit in the center of the room. As the name states, the menu is complete with numerous combinations to put on their specialty potatoes.

This week’s entertainment is Danny Janklow + Elevation Band ft. Katherine Ella Wood and Dennis Hamm. Danny at 20 was the youngest 1st place winner of the North American Saxophone Alliance Competition and subbed for Dick Oates regularly at the Village Vanguard. He has won or placed in several competitions and now this jazz voyager will be introduced to him live.

The venue is located at 3787 Cahuenga Boulevard, Studio City, 91604. For more information visit https://www.thebakedpotato.com.
