Blues Alley
Why You'll Love It
Featuring Jimmy Cobb, Larry Coryell, and Joey DeFrancescoThe nation’s oldest continuing jazz supper clubNamed Best Night Spot by Washingtonian MagazineWhen Dizzy Gillespie says, “Now THIS is a jazz club,” you listen. Officially, Blues Alley is the nation’s oldest continually running jazz supper club. Unofficially, it’s a hidden gem that’s hosted some of the biggest names in the genre.
This is the kind of place you congratulate yourself for finding. And then you tell all your friends about. Small tables cozy up to the stage (if you can even call it that), ensuring that every seat in the house is the best one.
Cobb, Coryell, and DeFrancesco promise a titillating tribute to jazz masters Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery. Stunning guitar work, organ music, and the syncopated joy of jazz rhythm will hijack the atmosphere in the best way possible. Creole-inspired entrées like Tony Bennett's shrimp and artichoke hearts provide the perfect seasoning to an already delicious night.
