The Jazz Voyager
This week the Jazz Voyager is in Madison, New Jersey and tonight will be sitting in a jazz spot established in 1995 by Martha Chang and David Nui called Shanghai Jazz. Inspired by Shanghai of the 1920s and 1930s, they are reputed to host acclaimed jazz musician performances six days a week with no cover except for special events. Located at 24 Main Street, 07940 if you need to map quest it but this jazz voyager is going to Uber my way over there.
Looking forward to sampling the Asian cuisine that is inspired by the seasons while enjoying Elias Bailey and Avalon Jazz Band in one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world. Take precaution on Friday and Saturday by calling 973-822-2899 for a required reservation if you want seating at the 6:30 or 8:35 performance. #jazzvoyager #wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager is once again is enjoying the bright light and night life in the Big Apple. Tonight I’m in Manhattan heading to Cleopatra’s Needle at 2485 Broadway, New York City 10025 to check out pianist Alan Rosenthal, followed by their acclaimed jam session into the early morning hours.
I am also curious to sample their menu’s fare as I am told it is as popular and good as the jazz they present. Admission is free, the food’s Mediterranean and the talent includes young and emerging musicians as well as veteran acts. For more information the number is 212-769-6969. #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
Heading towards what is arguably the best jazz club in Europe at Piet Heinkade 3, 1019 BR Amsterdam, Netherlands and perched on one side of the city’s almost transparent glass-and-iron riverside Muziekgebouw (Music Building), is Bimhuis. This Jazz Voyager is anticipating the claim that it offers the ideal live experience with its almost perfect acoustics and amphitheater-style seating and catching Lucia Cadotsch for around $20. This should mean there is not a bad seat in the house.
And beyond… during a concert, the curtains are raised behind the band to reveal the glass wall that renders the commanding, Renzo Piano-designed Nemo Museum. It is said to be a visual experience that reflects the thrilling sounds of the international jazz masters regularly performing at the Bimhuis. To purchase tickets call +31 20 788 2150 or visit www.bimhuis.nl #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
Just hours away from landing on my overnight flight to the other side of the world in the South Pacific, the Jazz Voyager is planning to sit down under and enjoy a weekend of live jazz in an intimate, dimly lit room while dining on tapas and cocktails in the Paris Cat. Located at 6 Goldie Pl, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia tonight will start at 7:00pm with a tribute to Chet Baker’s musical life with and then check out some Latin Grooves with Sincopa featuring Paul Van Ross.
Too far to travel to just turn around and jump on another plane, on Saturday I’ll check out the city during the day before catching Nichaud Fitzgibbon celebrating Cole Porter & The Gershwins in the Parisian Loft. Make your reservation at 61 3 9642 4711.

The Jazz Voyager
Heading back across the Atlantic to Rome, Italy and as they say, when in Rome… this weekend The Jazz Voyager will be embarking upon Tramjazz, a historical cable car converted into a traveling restaurant and concert hall. I will be enticed with a candlelit dinner, a jazz concert and a night tour of the center of the city. This is a project of Nunzia Fiorini and Anna Maria Sciannimanico and for about $80.00 takes each guest on a three hour culinary, musical and sightseeing adventure
One must be at the Piazza di Porta Maggiore at precisely 9:00 pm. This is the meeting point by the cable car platform near the ticket inspector’s cabin. They say it is where a 1947 Stanga railroad car will arrive and through the windows I will be able to observe the tables prepared and the candles lit. The band will already be in the turning platform in the middle of the carriage playing the first theme as the audience enjoys a flute of dry Spumante on the platform.
The cable car departs the station, the beer and the music begin to warm up and after a tour of the city it stops at the track of Parco de Celio, just in front of the Colasseo. Here dinner is served comprised of products from the Lazio region. All in all, I am looking forward to this evening. Hmmm… wonder what my attire will be. I think it will be prudent to check with Nunzia when I make my appointment at 339 6334700. #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare
