I’ve been a big fan of the live streams & archives from Smalls and Mezzrow for a long time (especially now when live events are on pause) and I highly recommend supporting them if you can.
When I heard that the Village Vanguard is set to start their own livestream events I almost fell out of my chair with excitement!
First up is The Billy Hart Quartet featuring Mark Turner, Ethan Iverson, and Ben Street as our their first livestream directly from the basement jazz club on Saturday, June 13th 2020 at 7 p.m. EDT and on Sunday, June 14th 2020 at 2 p.m. EDT.
From the Village Vanguard newsletter: “Since opening its doors in 1935, The Village Vanguard has been celebrating the city’s diverse music, culture, and community. February 22, 2020 marked 85 years The Village Vanguard has operated as the world’s oldest-running jazz club, and since we closed our doors on March 16th due to the global pandemic we’ve been working hard to bring the spirit and sounds of The Village Vanguard to you at home.”
These livestreams will air Saturday and Sundays, each show has an admission fee of $7 and will run approximately 75 minutes in length. Tickets are for sale in advance on their website.
I hope this continues long after the club is open and thriving again!
