The Jazz Voyager
648 W. Brevard Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32304 is the landing address for the Jazz Voyager to pull up a chair and enjoy the jazz on a weekend night at B Sharps Jazz Cafe.
This little yellow house has been the passion of Gerri and Clarence Seay in making this hidden gem the city’s only exclusive jazz listening house. Open only two nights a week on Friday and Saturday from 7:00pm to 12:00am, its lackluster outside does little to forecast the level of intimacy that a legitimate crowd is given for each performance.
Making each patron feel at home one will always take in the aroma of fresh coffee brewing, photographs of musicians hanging on hardwood paneling while the band is floor level for your up-close and personal interaction. Tasty meals are cooked up with a few different brands of alcohol at the bar. Ample parking in the rear. For info about performers and cover the number is 850-766-0972.

The Jazz Voyager
The next destination Jazz Voyager lies in his plan to head up to Harlem to take a seat in one of the last authentic speakeasies on the island of Manhattan called Bill’s Place. Opened in the early years of the Twenties during Prohibition on the block between Lenox and 7th Avenues called Swingstreet in the parlor of a private house located at 148 W. 133rd Street, New York City 10030.
The club operates Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30pm to 11:30pm and due to its popularity reservations are required and one can be made by calling 212-281-0777. Nightly cover for the 8pm and 10pm shows is $30.00 and it’s a dry room but you can bring your own bottle. This week the Jazz Voyager hopes to see a few legends join in to play this small no-frills room as saxophonist Bill Saxton leads the Harlem All Stars.
