The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is heading out to Minnesota to check in at the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant located at 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, 55403. Though the venue hosts sets from a plethora of major acts including Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis as well as popular musicians like his Prince Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, the establishment works tirelessly to preserve jazz music.
I am looking forward to an intimate cabaret setting and enjoying the sold out performance of the Martin Sexton Trio at 10:00pm as the 7pm performance is sold out. But this Jazz Voyager always takes delight in noshing at late night performances with like patrons who haunt the dark corners of jazz. Reservations, however, are highly recommended for you initiates and can be made at 612-332-1010.

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
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

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.
