All that jazz...

Last Friday The Adam Meckler Quintet played at the Dakota. Now, I won't lie, I'm not one for songs without words. In fact, I tend to make up stories in my head if there are no words with the songs. But Adam composed these songs in a way that they told a story and I didn't have to make up a thing. That was pretty awesome.


The Dakota is one of the coolest jazz venues I've been to. The minute you walk in, you feel like you need a dirty martini and a cigar. I also always feel like the mob might take me out any minute. So far, I've escaped bullet-free, though. I'd highly recommend seeing this group next time they play there.
