Jim Alfredson Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 They do and they are very set in their ways. Last time we talked to them (I think Ron called on our behalf) they wanted nothing to do with the idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Vanguard is probably booked during all possible nights; Renee Rosnes is there from 6/16-6/21, and the Vanguard Orchestra is on Monday the 15th. I know, however, that they occasionally do a late set (but not sure if they'd consider it for someone other than who was playing). Still, worth a call, no?

Ron S Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 They do and they are very set in their ways. Last time we talked to them (I think Ron called on our behalf) they wanted nothing to do with the idea at all. I did, indeed, and was told that they won't book any group that's not already well known in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we talked to them (I think Ron called on our behalf) they wanted nothing to do with the idea at all. Did you consider the Hotel Kitano? It's a very intimate club in a nice Japanese owned hotel; very good sound; and they seem to care about music there. I saw Mike Clark there last October, and he had an organist in the band. The fellow who seems to be in charge of the club is there in the evenings when they have music (Wednesday to Saturday) (sorry but I don't know his name).

Hardbopjazz Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't think she likes organ groups. I could be wrong. I bet you they are already booked up for June as well. Well if you could come back aother time besides June maybe something can be worked out at the Vanguard. I plan on seeing Barry Harris there in May. If I see Lorraine I will speak to her and see how she goes about booking bands. As far as Organ groups, Lou Donaldson plays there all the time with his organ group. I caught Dr. Lonie Smith there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 If you want to try Bohemian Caverns in D.C., ask for Omra Brown at 202-299-0800. I see they are already booked for the weekend of 6/19. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
