Ugly Beauty: The Month In Jazz – April 2019

Earlier this month, I saw a show that wasn't just a great night of live music, it was a model that other musicians, clubs and booking agents should emulate. I went down to Rockwood Music Hall, a venue on Allen Street in New York. It's literally across the street from an F train stop, so it's remarkably convenient. Rockwood has three stages in as many rooms; Stage 2, where I was, is the biggest of the three, I think, but none of the rooms are exactly cavernous.
