If you've never been to Mezzrow, you are in for a treat. Like the much lauded and loved "Bradley's," this intimate club of 75 seats, features the best of the best.

Recently announced, 2018 NEA Jazz Master Joanne Brackeen is known as the “Picasso of the Jazz Piano, ”She is among the notable pianists/composers who have broken the glass ceiling for women in jazz performance. But she is more than that; Joanne is an amazing MUSICIAN.

Joanne became the first (and only) female member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers in 1969, having already played, studied, and worked in jazz for a decade. She has since gone on to influence scores of players and move audiences the world over.

In addition to her tenure with the Jazz Messengers (1969–72), she performed extensively with Joe Henderson (1972–75) and Stan Getz (1975–77) before leading her own trio and quartet. Her trios featured such noted players as Clint Houston, Eddie Gomez, John Patitucci, Jack DeJohnette,Cecil McBee, and Billy Hart.

Ms. Brackeen established herself as a cutting edge pianist and composer through her appearances around the world. She has written over 350 compositions and appears on nearly 100 records. Her solo performances also cemented her reputation as one of the most innovative and dynamic of pianists; along with Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner. Joanne has been declared her one of the greatest living pianists, hands down, no footprints!

You are in for a treat, but YOU MUST secure your (first class) MUSIC ROOM SEAT (only 40 seats available). This is as close as you can get to having this duo play in your living room.

Bring a group of friends to your (seemingly) very own private party.

The (coach class) LISTENING ROOM (only 25 seats available) can sometimes be a "chat room," you will get to hear, but you'll miss seeing these two as they instantaneously improvise and inspire each other. But something is better than nothing.

Don't get stuck "behind the curtain!" Buy your MUSIC ROOM tickets NOW and enjoy the MOSTLY ACOUSTIC splendor of Mezzrow; up close and personal.

HEED THE WARNING
Last night the Mezzrow website showed 14 seats left for the 8:00 set and 18 seats left for the 9:30 set, but it was standing room only!!!

There is a fire code and the aisles must be kept clear! You will not get to "sneak" or creep up to the music room, if it is sold out.

LAST SET at 9:30 pm (arrive at 9:15 for the best spots)
