The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is off to the land of racing where local jazz is the highlight of the Chatterbox Jazz Club. This intimate bar serving drinks & a limited menu amid a quirky decor resides at 435 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Opened in 1982 by David Andrichik, this blue-collar spot is a true dive bar with jazz which is part of its charm, having earned its reputation best dive jazz bar in the city.
This trip is going to take the Jazz Voyager into this dive bar on Saturday to hear the Wade Baker Quartet. The cover charge is $8.00 with card/$7.00 cash. Doors open at 4:00pm but the music doesn’t start until 10:30pm for a late night hit that goes until 1:30am. Reservations are not required but if one requires more information, call 317-636-0584. With folks like Wynton Marsalis and Mick Jagger having hung out here, clearly this is one stop worth making.

Requisites
Journey In Satchidananda is the fourth solo album by Alice Coltrane recorded on November 8, 1970. Avant-garde in its jazz direction and released in 1971, its title and title track reflects Coltrane’s inspiration by Swami Satchidananda whom John Coltrane had become close to while being his disciple.
Shiva-Loka or realm of Shiva references the realm of the third member of the Hindu trinity, the dissolver of creation. Stopover Bombay refers to a five-week stay in India and Sri Lanka on which Coltrane was due to go in December 1970. Something About John Coltrane is based on themes by her late husband, John Coltrane. Isis and Osiris, on which Charlie Haden replaces Cecil McBee on bass, and Vishnu Wood plays oud, indicates Coltrane’s interest in Middle Eastern and North African music and culture. The presence of the tamboura, played by Tulsi, reflects Coltrane’s interest in Indian classical music and religion.
