An overflow crowd of patrons and musicians turned up at the popular Christopher Street dive bar, which was forced to close because of lost revenue during the pandemic.
More than a hundred musicians and bar regulars from across the city packed themselves inside the subterranean venue to say goodbye to the grimy jazz club that both emerging artists and Grammy-award winners have called their musical home – and where David Bowie once sat in the audience, scouting the band he would use on his final album, “Blackstar.”
“I have a thing with, ‘Freedom Jazz Dance' — I ended up using a Ukrainian scale,” Paul Jost told audience members, many of whom didn’t know until the night before that they would be listening to the last band to close out the bar. “I was re-learning it on this scale and I was like why am I doing this? But here we are... we have never done it as a quartet, but we’re going to give it a shot.
Those opportunities weren’t limited to name-brand performers. Vocalist Michelle Walker said she felt respected by the club, which gave her the chance to experiment when she was just starting out, after changing careers in her late 20s to pursue music.
