The Jazz Voyager

Staying on the east coast and heading back down to the city to the lower westside of Greenwich Village to the iconic jazz spote called the Village Vanguard. The 130 seat venue has been around since 1935 and has brought hundreds of legendary musicians to this New York stage. Their 16 musician Vanguard Jazz Orchestra which began as the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1966, plays every Monday night.

This week I’ll be having the privilege of hearing Joe Lovano & the Dave Douglas Quintet, who will be inresidence for a week. They have been playing together for some years, and when Lovano brings his tenor saxophone and pairs it with Douglas’ trumpet which creates an exciting performance.

The Village Vanguard is located at 178 7th Avenue S, New York City, NY 10014. For more information visit https://villagevanguard.com.
