The Jazz Voyager

Manhattan is calling the Jazz Voyager once again to its theater district wherein lies the famed jazz nightclub Birdland. This venerable jazz club opened on December 15, 1949 and though the original location, which was located at 1678 Broadway, just north of West 52nd Street closed in 1965 due to increased rents, it re-opened for one night in 1979. Then in 1986 a revival began with the opening of the second nightclub by the same name that is now located not far from the original nightclub’s location. The current site at 315 West 44th Street 10036 is in the same building as the previous New York Observer headquarters.

Too young to have gained admittance to the original club before it closed, this Jazz Voyager will enjoy revisiting the club, not  patronized since the Nineties, to hear one of the genres emerging vocalists Veronica Swift and of course for the late show at 10:30. The price of admission is $40 and if memory serves me, make a reservation at 212-581-3080. #wannabewhereyouare
