The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is flying south to Miami to check out an intimate bistro called Rouge for Nights@Ricks Dinner Musical on Wednesday evening. Reminiscent of Casablanca and the jazz age of World War II, I am intrigued to be taken back to that period and listen to classic jazz and enjoying what I hope to be sumptuous dining experience of French and Moroccan cuisine.
All of this is wrapped up in what has been described as a romantic setting and each Wednesday features the talents of pianist David Attelan and vocalist Lavie at 908 71st Street, Miami Beach, FL 33141. Table reservations are required and one can be made at 305-720-9125. #jazzvoyager #wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager is heading out to Minnesota to check in at the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant located at 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, 55403. Though the venue hosts sets from a plethora of major acts including Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis as well as popular musicians like his Prince Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, the establishment works tirelessly to preserve jazz music.
I am looking forward to an intimate cabaret setting and enjoying the sold out performance of the Martin Sexton Trio at 10:00pm as the 7pm performance is sold out. But this Jazz Voyager always takes delight in noshing at late night performances with like patrons who haunt the dark corners of jazz. Reservations, however, are highly recommended for you initiates and can be made at 612-332-1010.

This week the Jazz Voyager is in Madison, New Jersey and tonight will be sitting in a jazz spot established in 1995 by Martha Chang and David Nui called Shanghai Jazz. Inspired by Shanghai of the 1920s and 1930s, they are reputed to host acclaimed jazz musician performances six days a week with no cover except for special events. Located at 24 Main Street, 07940 if you need to map quest it but this jazz voyager is going to Uber my way over there.
Looking forward to sampling the Asian cuisine that is inspired by the seasons while enjoying Elias Bailey and Avalon Jazz Band in one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world. Take precaution on Friday and Saturday by calling 973-822-2899 for a required reservation if you want seating at the 6:30 or 8:35 performance. #jazzvoyager #wannabewhereyouare

The Jazz Voyager
Heading towards what is arguably the best jazz club in Europe at Piet Heinkade 3, 1019 BR Amsterdam, Netherlands and perched on one side of the city’s almost transparent glass-and-iron riverside Muziekgebouw (Music Building), is Bimhuis. This Jazz Voyager is anticipating the claim that it offers the ideal live experience with its almost perfect acoustics and amphitheater-style seating and catching Lucia Cadotsch for around $20. This should mean there is not a bad seat in the house.
And beyond… during a concert, the curtains are raised behind the band to reveal the glass wall that renders the commanding, Renzo Piano-designed Nemo Museum. It is said to be a visual experience that reflects the thrilling sounds of the international jazz masters regularly performing at the Bimhuis. To purchase tickets call +31 20 788 2150 or visit www.bimhuis.nl #jazzvoyager#wannabewhereyouare
