The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is back in the Big Apple and on his way to the Jazz Standard at 116 E 27th St, New York, NY 10016. This visit to lower Manhattan will be to catch a performance with the Ravi Coltrane Trio with bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Allan Mednard. His special guests during this engagement are tenor saxophonist Tomoki Sanders – son of Pharoah Sanders, harpist Brandee Younger and trumpeter Ralph Alessi.
This upscale and relaxing jazz club hosts performances by some of the biggest names in the jazz world, however, the typical cover charge is pricey but reasonable by Manhattan standards. With an excellent sound system, the intimate seating holds for a total of 130 people.
The 9:30 set ticket is $30.00, the menu has a variety of enticements all the way through desert and the anticipation of witnessing these performers on stage is exhilarating. The Jazz Standard is open from 11:30 am to 1:00 am on Friday and Saturday and can be reached at jazzstandard.com or at 212-576-2232. #wannabewhereyouare

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
