312 Part V: The Part of Tens The Jazz Museum in Harlem, where bassist Christian McBride is co-director, also presents an engaging array of lectures and performances. You can visit the museum online at www.jazzmuseuminharlem.org. When you get into town, find an Internet café (if you don’t have the Internet at home or in your hotel room) and log on to www.nybluesandjazz.org, an encyclopedic source of everything jazz in New York City. Philadelphia Philadelphia is only 100 miles from New York City, and that’s not a great distance for jazz’s spark to jump. Philly jazz dates back to early legends Eddie Lang (guitar) and Joe Venuti (violin), both born in the Windy City (Chicago). Later, guitarist Jimmy Bruno, saxophonist John Coltrane, bandleader and saxophonist Charlie Ventura, and drummers Philly Joe Jones and Tony Williams were among important players from this scene. Bootsie Barnes and Larry McKenna are recent mainstays. Good clubs to hang out in include the following: � Chris’s Jazz Café, www.chrisjazzcafe.com � J.J.’s Grotto, 215-988-9255 � The North Star, www.northstarbar.com � Ortlieb’s Jazzhaus, www.ortliebsjazzhaus.com � The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, Inc., www. clefclubofjazz.com � The Smoked Joint, www.smokedjoint.com � Zanzibar Blue, www.zanzibarblue.com Most of these clubs feature national and international names like Eric Alexander, Jimmy Bruno, Winard Harper, Javon Jackson, Kevin Mahogany, Pat Martino, and Mickey Roker — it’s rare to have so many blue chip clubs in one city. The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts complex designed by prominent architect Rafael Vinoly houses major entertainment including a regular agenda of jazz on the order of vibraphonist Gary Burton and pianist Brad Mehldau. Check out the astounding venue at www.kimmelcenter.org.
San Diego Chapter 18: Ten Great Cities for Jazz Other cultural venues that feature jazz include the following: � Philadelphia’s International House is center for arts around the world, with an eclectic array of music including African, improvisational, and jazz — sometimes played all together. Violinist Leroy Jenkins and saxophonist Henry Threadgill are among those who have performed there. Visit www.ihousephilly.org for more info. � The Philadelphia Chamber Music Society is grounded in classical music but branches into jazz with prominent players like saxophonist Joe Lovano. Log on to www.pcmsconcerts.org. � Philadelphia Museum of Art (www.philamuseum.org) is a great place to experience fine visual art along with occasional concerts by jazz greats like Avishai Cohen. National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate station WRTI-FM (90.1) combines jazz and classical programming from its studios at Temple University, with several hours of jazz hosted by real people every day. And while we’re talking about Philadelphia culture and jazz, check out America’s leading lady of arts interviewers: Terry Gross. She hosts her nationally syndicated public radio program “Fresh Air” from WHYY-FM (91). She’s married to jazz critic Francis Davis and often interviews jazz musicians. My own fair city doesn’t rank among the top five American cities for jazz, but I include it here out of loyalty and a love of the underdog, and to prove that great jazz exists in most mid-size and larger American cities, if you search it out. One recent winter, you could choose from the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra in La Jolla, vibraphonist Charlie Shoemake and pianist Bill Mays in Balboa Park (our Central Park), the San Diego State University Jazz Ensemble featuring recording artist Christopher Hollyday on saxophone, the San Francisco Jazz Collective (vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and other big names) sharing a bill with the University of California San Diego’s Jazz Ensemble, and the Rebirth Brass Band at a club called Canes. Dizzy’s provides excellent local and regional jazz most every night, and the club is an all-ages venue just a short walk from dozens of restaurants in the historical Gaslamp Quarter and the San Diego Padres’ new ballpark. Dizzy’s has become a local institution, and owner Chuck Perrin is a product of the Beat Generation who still records and performs spoken word. Perrin’s tastes in jazz were formed in the ’50s and ’60s. A typical month of music includes 313
