The Jazz Voyager
Istanbul, Turkey is my next destination for this Jazz Voyager to see what the happening at Nublu, often described as an Eastern New York melting pot of bursting creativity. Located under the Gradiva Hotel at Sıraselviler Cad. No:55, 34134, just 200 meters from the Galata Bridge, it’s only natural that it shares a jazz club with New York City.
The original club was established by the ingenious Swedish-Turkish sax player Ilhan Ersahin, it opened in New York’s Lower East Side in 2002, when the area was healing from the September 11 attacks. Soon, the place became a hub for innovative musicians, creating a sound of its own: an urban blend of of Afro-Caribbean-electro-dance-jazz-funk with a Brazilian tinge. Ten years later in 2012, the Nublu sound traveled to Istanbul. Today, the club has a third location in Sao Paulo, Brazil. #wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is sticking around the city that never sleeps to take in a night at the Flatiron Room might be the perfect place to introduce yourself to jazz, and, especially if you like whiskey! But you can order your favorite cocktail under hand-painted coffered ceilings that adds to the ambience. They stock jazz acts that are not only talented but designed to be background music, thus allowing you to ease into the genre.
With that being said, this Jazz Voyager will being enjoying this classy nightspot with a vintage vibe with my favorite beverage, mingling with like-minded patrons with a backdrop of a beautiful stage with lush velvet curtains and live jazz shows. But be clear, for those of you who desire to partake, this is not a listening room. #wannabewhereyouare
