The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager was in the mile high city of Denver, Colorado last night to partake of the cuisine and music at Dazzle. Located at 1512 Curtis Street 80202, the club resides between 15th and 16th Streets Mall, in Lower Downtown, or LoDo as the natives say. Parking is available on the street, lots and garages but opted for the recommended use of a car service.
Admission ranged from free to $40.00 depending on the artist and reservations are made when you purchase your ticket, however, seating is on a first come basis. So I purchased my ticket online, reserved my seat at dazzledenver.com and enjoyed a performance of The Bad Plus. For those voyagers heading to Denver and planning a visit to Dazzle, there is no physical box office so if you want to guarantee yourself a seat, do not chance not getting in at the door.
Dining was separate from the cost of admission and Dazzle has an $8 minimum for ages 8 to 17 and a $15.00 minimum for ages above. They offer an online list of FAQs that will satisfy most patrons but if you require any other information you can call the business office at 303-839-5100. #wannabewhereyouare

Since opening in 2009 the club has provided the highest level of live music in an innovative, intimate space with a sophisticated design. It is the brainchild of jazz vocalist John Lee and became the go to venue for the best creative musicians both young and established to showcase their latest projects.
The unconventional free seating arrangement and the ceiling tilting boxes in the stage area make for acoustical praise by fans and musicians. The club offers small menu of farmers market driven, made from scratch dishes as well as a full list of drinks. #wannabewhereyouare

On the way back to South America now that I have my all night street cred established again after hanging out at Carnival, for a visit to the outside jazz party at Nova Lapa Jazz at R. Luis de Camoes, 30 – Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is in order.
It is here patrons listen into the wee hours to the jazz band bringing local and international tunes to life between the arches. Musicians will spontaneously show up to play, as they always do in Brazil. There’s nothing like sitting at a cafe and seeing musicians come in to jam with the band. Local vendors sell drinks – from beer to caipirinhas – all in plastic cups. It’s a casual, friendly vibe this Jazz Voyager will enjoy. Tomorrow, it’s Carnival!!! #wannabewhereyouare

As I depart a wonderful stay in Amsterdam and shipping my purchases home, The Jazz Voyager leaves for Vienna, the city that has strongly identified with the masters classical music – Haydn, Mozart, Strauss but now very much appreciates the likes of of jazz musicians Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. It’s all done at Porgy & Bess, the modern club located at Riemergasse 11, 1010 Wien, Austria.
Boasting ambience of a state-of-the-art mini concert hall, and room for 350 it has been designed to present top players to maximum advantage. The crowd at Porgy is respectful and attentive and an evening here is a pleasurable and comfortable experience – depending on who’s playing. A wide variety of top-of-the-range jazz is booked, from dazzling jazz and Latin musicians to the dark experimental broodings of central European virtuosi.
As with the name, the owners understand that jazz is historically defined as Afro-American music and innovative pulses still come from the “motherland of jazz”. These are two great reasons why the great American soloists of the music on the one hand, and the future generations on the other, are given programmatic consideration.
Admission about €20 with music every night, though the venue takes a summer break between mid-July and end of August. Reservations are advised at +43 1 512 8811. #wannabewhereyouare
