Village Vanguard

Editorial Review

One of the few legendary jazz spots left in the Village, a throwback to when all those cats were blowing hard and shooting up between sets. Ah, nostalgia! Serious heads willing to pay hefty prices. Crimson lounge with explicit sax. Take your visiting dad to show him how the city swings. Sure, jazz sounds like a bucketful of wounded animals, but we try to nod our heads in polite company.
