Editorial Review for Blue Note – by Lee Jeske
The Scene
It has only been around since the mid-'80s, but it feels like the Blue Note has been on West 3rd Street forever. Once you get past a lot of trappings--the grand piano awning, the Las Vegas-y interior, steep cover charge, overstuffed gift shop, mediocre meals named after great jazz songs, some clueless tourists and expense-account patrons--the Blue Note is truly a world-class jazz joint.
The Draw
The club attracts some of the biggest names jazz has ever known, and the abundant staff makes sure that when the music begins, the chatter--often in a dozen languages--comes to a dead silence. The booking policy is eclectic and often outstanding--Oscar Peterson didn't play nightclubs until the Blue Note threw piles of cash at him, and Cecil Taylor and Elvin Jones hadn't played together at all before a landmark series of recent late-night duets.

Save MoneyLate-night jam sessions are not uncommon, and yield the opportunity to get a heavily-discounted table.

When I see the word JAZZ I think of toe tapping and fun. This was not it!! Ron Carter was playing and while he is good on the Bass you don't usually hear alot of Bass solos. One of the people fell asleep it was so depressing. The music would have been good for a wake!! I guess I just didn't get it but I really associate jazz witha little more up tempo music than solo Bass

When walking into the Blue Note one feels the historical significance of this legendary jazz club. I would recommend spending the extra money to actually get a seat rather than standing in the back at the very crowded bar. There is a minimum but skip having dinner before hand and grab a cocktail and a burger and listen to the modern giants of jazz.
Pros: Jazz, food, drinks
Cons: can get pricey
