First concert for me was Chicago at Aqueduct Race Trace in New York 1972.
First Jazz concert Count Basie and his Orchestra 1981 at the New Savoy Ball Room. Basie was in a wheel chair at this point but he still played the Count Basie we all know.
I would suggest Renee Rosnes Quartet at the Village Vanguard, October 3 - October 8. You can walk down to the end of the Highline and then walk the few blocks to the Vanguard.
