The Jazz Voyager
Hanging out in the Big Apple is one of my favorite summertime things to do because it’s one of the best places to walk. The sights and sounds are amazing from the Vilage to Park Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza to Central Park Carousel and Zoo. Uptown to Harlem is the last destination, a quick fashion update, a good meal and then to where this jazz voyager will be in the Minton’s Playhouse audience this evening.
Established in 1938 by saxophonist Henry Minton, the venue stands as a pivotal shrine in the history of jazz, renowned as the birthplace of Bebop. Over the ensuing decades, it served as the epicenter for a revolutionary shift in jazz, laying the foundations for modern jazz.
Vocalist Vanisha Gould is being hosted at this venerable establishment for one night only. Anticipation is what this voyager is eagerly awaiting in hopes that she will be grooving to the sounds of the next generation of jazz musicians, as well as transporting us back to the golden age of jazz.
The venue is located at 206 West 118th Street, New York City, NY 10026. For more information visit https://www.mintonsnyc.com.

The Jazz Voyager
From the City by the Bay to the Big Apple to Greenwich Village that is home to some of the best jazz clubs in the city. And this week the Jazz Voyager is heading to this part of the city that never sleeps to catch a set at the Blue Note. The intimate 250 seat venue has been hosting the biggest names in jazz since its humble beginnings in 1981.
Alto saxophonist Gary Bartz, NEA Jazz Master and professor of saxophone and jazz performance at Oberlin Conservatory takes off a few days from teaching to hit the stage this week for four nights, Thursday through Sunday. Since the 1960s he has held tenure with Max Roach, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, and Miles Davis. What he will bring to this engagement is something this Jazz Voyager is anticipating.
The venue is located at 131 W 3rd St, New York, NY 10012. For more information visit https://www.bluenotejazz.com/nyc.
