The Jazz Voyager

The City That Never Sleeps is once again the destination for the Jazz Voyager to catch the happenings at Minton’s Playhouse. Located on the first floor of the Cecil Hotel at 206 W 118th St, New York City 10026. The club was established by saxophonist Henry Minton in 1938 and was the home where Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie gave birth to bebop.

The club has gone through two closings and remodelings and as of 2013 revived by Richard Parsons, is now once again a vibrant upscale venue for the jazz tradition. The cuisine is American fare with appetizers, salads, seafood, meats, and vegetarian dishes ranging from $14 to $48 with side selections averaging $8.

This week’s excursion will make this Jazz Voyager hurry up to Harlem to enjoy the second set with saxophonist T.K. Blue as part of the Jazzmobile Residency. Reservations are required and can be made online or by calling 212-243-2222.
