All that Jazz

September 3rd
Get up. Shower. Decide to go to City. :-)
Look at TimeOut. Alex sees that Kenny Burrell is playing at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola. So we make reservations and catch the 1:27PM train to Grand Central.

We go to the MoMA. We see the exhibition on pre-fabricated houses and the exhibition on Dalí and his films (Le Chien Andalou and others). We walk by and look at the Picassos, the VanGoghs, the Hoppers, the Klees, the Man Rays, the Max Beckmanns, etc.

Inspired by all that art we have coffee at the museum and then catch a cab to go to the Lincoln Centre. But Jazz at the Lincoln Centre has been moved to the Time Warner Centre. So we walk there.

We have a fantastic dinner at the Steak House in the Time Warner Center. At 7PM we go up to the 5th floor and listen to fantastic Jazz. Kenny Burrell gathered some talented musicians around him (the pianist and the saxophone player are both very young compared to Kenny and the bassist and the drummer). We sit at the bar and we have a very good view of the stage. The experience is almost too good to be true. We can't stop smiling.

We go to catch the train at Grand Central and realize, that we need to wait about an hour for the next train. So we go sit in the pub outside the station and watch the US Open there.

We catch the 10:22PM train. It has been a successful, fabulous, satisfying, cultural day.
