Adam Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 There was an article in the LA Times today that the Jazz Bakery in Culver City CA has lost its lease and will be closing at the end of May, but intends to reopen in the Fall. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et...0,5709736.story This would be bad if it was gone forever. And stupid that they want to open yet another furniture place there. There is a huge furniture store going out of business in the same complex, right around the corner.

ValerieB Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 this is very lousy news! i'm going to be there this coming Friday to see Ron, Mulgrew and Russell. their location has become a hip one instead of the off-the-beaten-track area it was just a few years back. there used to be one decent restaurant within walking distance and now there are at least four. this is a damn shame that they have to move, once again.

Hoppy T. Frog Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 this is very lousy news! i'm going to be there this coming Friday to see Ron, Mulgrew and Russell. their location has become a hip one instead of the off-the-beaten-track area it was just a few years back. Probably the reason they gotta move. Jazz thrives on cheap rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the reason they gotta move. Jazz thrives on cheap rent. you're right. but they also have "thrived" all these years as they're a non-profit.

RDK Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh, this is horrible news! For all its faults, the Bakery is my favorite venue for jazz in L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indestructible! Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh, this is horrible news! For all its faults, the Bakery is my favorite venue for jazz in L.A. I agree with everything you just said, Ray. This is very sad news. Unless... the Bakery opens somewhere else closer to me! I love the Culver City space and vibe, but it isn't located near where I live these days... I used to live about 15 minutes away, but now it's more like an hour away (with good traffic). Ruth mentioned she wants the new space to be "on the Westside", but who knows what will come of that... the rents there are nuts right now! Cheers, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah, for a San Diego/Oceanside boy who has regularly tripped to L.A. for jazz, some of my best memories involve the Bakery. In fact it was at this venue one early evening that I first met the charming Valerie B, if memory serves. We saw a great duo performance featuring Mulgrew Miller and Steve Nelson.
