             NEWSLETTER & SCHEDULE

Dear Friends:

Moving into 2016!  The week between Christmas and New Year's, we had one of the busiest weeks I can remember ever at Smalls and Mezzrow.  It was exhilarating to experience crowds like this but also a bit frightening.  Throngs of folks coming out to the clubs - long lines winding down 10th street and into 7th avenue.  Anxious eyed fans wondering "am I going to be able to get into this set?".  My assiduous managers patiently herding the folks, placating them.  Sending packs of people East to Mezzrow and then back again West towards Smalls.  A highway of jazz-starved fans traversing the avenue - back and forth.

Fans from all over the world - so eager for the jazz food that we can dish out nightly.  Their arms extended for their bowlful of bebop, a swing stew that is the comfort food of the soul, the blues, some standards - good musical eating!  Our jazz restaurants serving up the good stuff to the world travelers so that they can return fortified and placated - and with a taste for more.

Now the holidays are done and we are back to a more mellow vibe.  It's a bit of a relief to not have the frantic crowds but I'm sure I'll miss them shortly.  Nonetheless, some great jazz on the menu for January.  We have a rare solo appearance from the great Bill Charlap at Mezzrow (CLICK FOR INFO).  Also coming up at Mezzrow this month that we recommend reservations for is the great Andy Bey (CLICK FOR INFO), Ethan Iverson with Mark Turner (CLICK FOR INFO) and Eric Lewis, aka ELEW (CLICK FOR INFO).  Please remember to check out our live streams from the club - both clubs now available to watch live for just registering as a free member - click here for more info and become a member of SmallsLIVE.  Also, check out the Smalls Youtube channel here for clips from our current archive.

As always, I wish you my best regards and hope to see you at the clubs this week.

Peace,
Spike
