Blue Note Club

[Rabshakeh]

The NY club The Blue Note seems to be going through a period of massive expansion. There is going to be a branch opening in London and I think one in the UAE. 

I am always a little sad when anything that was previously unique starts opening worldwide branches. 

But it is an interesting development. Unlike restaurants or art galleries there isn't much prospect of dilution. It will be nice to have another club of its caliber. I assume that the club has infrastructure to send musicians on tours of the Blue Note network.

There's been an official Blue Note club in Tokyo for decades and an unofficial one in Taipei for just as long.

The sight lines are a bit odd in the Blue Note’s current configuration.

It is the most uncomfortable NYC jazz club, IMO.
