I'm looking for a very particular type of venue. I'd like to find a jazz club that I would describe as sort of "old fashioned" probably... To give you an idea, one of those places where you can eat at tables and enjoy a jazz show in a nice, upscale, 20's atmosphere. Now, the requirement is that such a place be in one of these cities: Austin, San Antonio, Houston or Dallas and that in the next two months at least a show be scheduled which includes old-time favorites of Jazz such as music by Cole Porter, Ella, Louis Armstrong, etc. From the websites you find all three these elements should be somehow evident. Remember, style/atmoshpere, location (TX) and music (Cole Porter, Ella, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday...) No new jazz stuff. Thanks. |

I'm not aware of any clubs or bands in Dallas that completely fit your bill. The places I've seen tend to be a bit more modern in style yet still a nice, upscale supper club feel: 1. Sambuca - catch it when Ricki Derek & the Vegas Six are playing. The vibe can get pretty ostentatious and glitzy, and on bad nights the music is merely wallpaper. The good nights are a more modern adaptation of what you're after. The band plays mostly Rat Pack tunes, but Cole Porter makes a few appearances, too. **DISCLAIMER** - I play in the band, but we draw well there and get a decent response, so I figure some other folks enjoy it. 2. Beau Nash - try and catch it when Hunter Sullivan is playing. His scene is similar to the Ricki Derek thing, but I think his vibe is a bit more of the sensitive crooning vs. the more raucous think with Ricki. 3. Sullivan's - They book good bands and the scene seems pretty cool, although admittedly this place is the least familiar to me. I hope this helps! Cheers, Danny |
