AMAZING! Any time you have the opportunity to see El Maestro in person, DO JOT HESITATE! Especially at the Blue note. It is an intimate session yet so full of positive energy and world class musicians. Worth every penny!!!
Tge 5 stars are for Eric Gales - an 11 out of 10, but he was a guest of the headliner, MonoNeon who is an exceptional bassist, he doesn't like to perform and it shows. Could have used A LOT more Eric.
I could have done without the history lesson about bebop. There were 2 shows, so it's already a foregone conclusion that the first show would be short; there was no encore which only made the anecdotes and talking all the more annoying. I'm a fan, but next time, I would appreciate more playing and much less filler.
Good venue. Better than expected. Seating is TIGHT. Food is okay. A little pricey for the quality. Sound was great. Nice employees.
Definitely a good time. Will go again.
Low Cut Connie was amazing. We’ll be seeing them again ASAP.
Neighborhood is the same. Cops standing around scratching their ass while whatever happens.
Next Covid round will fuck this place up though so go now.
Seeing the great David Sanborn perform at the legendary BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB on August 9th was one of the best experiences of my summer.
David and his sax were in top form, as he played every note from his heart and soul, like no one else can.
His band is made up of excellent musicians , each playing their instruments (piano, bass, trumpet and drums) impeccably.
I have previously attended 3 jazz shows at the Blue Note, prior to seeing David Sanborn.
Blue Note provides an excellent venue for jazz performers and their captive audience.
The food and drinks are fantastic, and the wait staff have always been very accommodating.
I do hope David will return to the Blue Note in the not too distant future.
His immense talent has made him a legend, in the truest sense of the word.
I couldn’t attend; but l am aware that Blue Note was packed and the attendees were mesmerized and content. Some described her as one-of-a-kind “jewel”, and that they will bring friends and family members to Melanie’s next performance whenever it will take place in Manhattan. This is marvelous news for Melanie and her luscious band. MJB (030823)
Very intimate experience with a great funky jazzy band. We were sat 5 feet away from the band; it was awesome! 'Jelly' was singing, and Robert threw down the raddest sax I think I've ever heard!
As always I look forward to seeing Chris Botti at the Blue Note- such an intimate setting- I feel like it’s a private concert just for me. His love for music and introducing new and spectacular talent is another reason I love to see him. If you have an opportunity to see him - GO!! You won’t be disappointed.
I absolutely adore this group !!! I purchased tickets as soon as I got a notification that they would be in town . Took my sister who had never been too a live show and now she is hooked. Awesome . Awesome. Awesome !!!! And Norah Jones as an added bonus ??!! !
The music was good. Lalah Hathaway is a talent and a remarkable singer. The set was short (about 1 hour) and enjoyable but it felt more like a Lalah Hathaway show.
My biggest issue with the event is the venue because Blue Note just pack in the audience like sardines. The entire experience was just uncomfortable and unpleasant. They expect you to order food but the tables are barely big enough to hold a drink.
Overall a bit disappointing.
Nellie at the Blue Note—what a treat. Enchanting as always, but at her best in this intimate setting. In voice, her fierce licks on the shiny, shiny grand, the precious ukulele and even a bit of harmonica…not to mention her Bob Dylan impersonation—just spot spot-on with new and old material as well as classic covers. And her bassist and drummer, perfect complement. If only she had included Judy’s “What’ll I Do” in the set, I’d have been destroyed. But even yet, such a great show. See her any time you can.
The show was amazing. Of course Nate displayed his percussion skills. And the rest of the band members were exceptional. From the Pianist, Saxophonist, bassist, guitarist and the Soloist it was amazing. Go ro the final shows, it's highly recommended.
Great show, but the set was short, about an hour. The chemistry between the performers was awesome to watch. Stanley Clarke is an amazing musician and is clearly still having fun playing for a crowd.
OMG!!!! This concert was so awesome...It was truly Miller Time...He and his band of merry music 🎵🎵🎵 makers Rocked the Blue Note...I might go to another show just because...Thank you Marcus for playing your heart out❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹😎
Low Cut Connie only has one speed - a high velocity gear nobody else can match. How they do two shows in one night is beyond me. So happy to be there for both of them. The Blue Note is a special venue. The only downside was having to stay in a seat. Ya gotta dance with this band.
And the new stuff...wowza. 🔥❤🔥
Braxton is so such a dope musician. It was a pleasure to see this artistry in person. I flew in from Atlanta only to see his performance and it was worth it. If he hits your city most defiantly go.
Robert makes beautiful music and I liked adding to dj to add an extra layer to the songs. While I don’t think there was anything transcendent during the show it was generally quite good. My complaint would be the preshow dj added nothing, a jazz club is the wrong environment for a solo dj, and I was at the bar which in blue note turns out to be a horrible place to watch a jazz show, it’s loud, crowded, with terrible sight lines. Next time will get a table.
Matthew was outstanding. His musicianship is superb! His organ reminded me of Jimmy Smith. Matthew is also an excellent composer! They played several styles. The band was funky and tight! I strongly recommend that you experience the artistry of Matthew Whitaker!
Beautiful & mesmerizing experience. I am so happy that I had a chance to witness such a profound musician in my lifetime. Listened to you all the time as a young child while my dad blasted CD 101.9 smooth jazz on his car radio ♥️
El concierto increíble! Músicos maravillosos! El blue note da un poco de vergüenza, NO RECOMIENDO EL BAR, no se ve nada y escuchas el concierto con los ruidos de la barra y cada persona que entra al club, ademas una vez te han cobrado ponen de pie adelante tuyo a los últimos en llegar. Una vergüenza
