Jazz in a living room on West 11th Street
Four or five evenings a year, a small audience and a band that would fill a club sit a few feet apart. Since 2016 the series has hosted 156 musicians across 49 concerts — harpists and string quartets, Brazilian nights and Argentine tango, opera and straight-ahead trios — and since 2018 it has travelled to Dakar.
