The Jazz Voyager
The midwest was a blast but there’s nothing like the Big Apple and this Jazz Voyager has landed and is going to hang out with some longtime friends. However, the icing on the cake will be sitting in the audience of one of the country’s preeminent non-profit cultural centers and performance spaces, the Jazz Gallery.
It was founded in 1995 by Dale Fitzgerald, vocalist Lezlie Harrison and renowned jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove who envisioned a hub and home for the jazz musicians and composers from around the world who come to New York to take part and enhance the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
Located at 1160 Broadway, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10001 in downtown Manhattan, the Jazz Gallery showcases progressive jazz music and gives artists, both young and old, a place to perfect their craft. They commission new works, pair young artists with established ones and provides rehearsal space for NYC’s jazz musicians.
The Jazz Gallery is open 3 to 5 nights per week, 50 weeks per year and you can check the schedule at http://www.jazzgallery.org/ or call for information on tickets prices ranging from $10 to $30 depending on performer. #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
I’m leaving Philly on a jet plane, landing in St. Louis, Missouri and heading to 3536 Washington Avenue, 63103 to imbibed some music at Jazz At The Bistro. Opened in 1995, and situated in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District, this space is located in the newly renovated Ferring Jazz Bistro which is part of the Harold & Dorothy Steward Center for Jazz.
Boasting an American menu with Southern accents, this intimate jazz performance space with cabaret seating has not a bad seat in the house. It is said the acoustics are extraordinary and offers patrons one of the finest listening experiences in the nation. This Jazz Voyager aims to find out. Jazz at the Bistro is part of Jazz St. Louis, a non-profit whose aim is to promote jazz.
Seating is limited, reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 314-571-6000. Cover charge is $20.00 for adults with students $10.00. #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
Heading back across the pond to 315 Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas to experience some jazz in the Elephant Room located in the basement of the historic Swift Building. This Jazz Voyager is under the impression that it is a destination for both jazz aficionados and jazz neophytes, and desires to add his name to the roster of the former.
Since 1991 this underground jazz room has presented live jazz performances seven days a week and is open daily from 4:00pm until 2:00am, 8:00pm to 2:00am on Saturday and Sunday. It boasts a full bar with more than 20 draft beers & wines by the glass. So after laying out the small cover I shall relinquish all external forces to their devices and kick back to enjoy the sounds of the Ephraim Owens Quintet tomorrow. Cabernet anyone?
Don’t forget to add the zip code 78701 to your map quest or get more information by calling 512-473-2279.
