I took my dear friend out for a birthday treat and we both got treated. I don't remember the last time I was in the Jazz Cellar but I think I've been missing something.
Room is pleasant, comfortable; service is stellar; food good (the salmon chowder was excellent as was the pasta w/ prawns, mangos, pineapple in a light cream curry sauce). Best of all was the music.
Van Django is a string ensemble that uses the sounds of Django Reinhart and Stephan Grappelli to start out from as the note on the The Cellar's website says:
Van Django is an acoustic string ensemble made up of four extremely talented and eclectic musicians. Their music is well-rooted in the gypsy jazz of 1930's Paris France, but beyond that it's all pure blue-skying: flights of dazzling fancy, driving rhythms and boundless creativity. Experience this foursome as they play their original compositions and quirky arrangements in an action packed musical universe they call, "acoustic string hot jazz!"A great show and I will be back. But it's quarter to one, and I'm tired, and so to bed.
later
