Joining him were two other fantastic musicians, Carmen Intorre on percussion and Johnny DeFrancesco on the guitar. At the other end of the room was the stage where the trio lead by one of the best soul and acid jazz organists, Reuben Wilson. They gave us a table at the far end of the room near a Picasso print, so I felt a little bit of Málaga pride. Smoke Jazz only has room for about 50 people, so the space is quite intimate. The night we chose Reuben Wilson was playing, and we were lucky because now I can’t stop listening to his music. I have to admit that I enjoy listening to jazz, but I’m not an expert by any means. It was the perfect ambiance and it made for an unforgettable evening. The lights are dim and the acoustics are great making the perfect backdrop for the artists. Smoke Jazz offers concerts every night of the week and you can choose to pay for the show and watch from the bar with a drink or choose the dinner option and sit at one of the tables, which is what we did. I had the good fortune to eat dinner during a jazz set at this musical icon and it definitely lived up to the fame.
But what I can tell you, is that if you want a good dinner and quality jazz Smoke Jazz on the Upper West Side is one of the best spots. Photo (by-nc-nd) by El Boquerón Viajeroīut where can you find good jazz in New York? I’m definitely not an expert and every New Yorker will tell you a different place that is hopping, be it in the Village, Brooklyn, the Upper West Side or Harlem. Some of them, like Louis Armstrong, fall in love with the magic of the New York City nights and never leave. And if New Orleans is known as the birthplace of jazz New York is where the artists all come to earn their stripes. But if we are talking about jazz, it’s clear that the Big Apple is one of the best places in the world to experience the passion for this genre. New York has the best shows from musicals to opera to rock concerts or any other genre, for that matter. If there is any one thing that I like about New York it is the unending list of things to do. Smoke Jazz is a cozy little spot on the Upper West Side where you will enjoy your dinner as much as the jazz in New York.
