Lau Noah x Adam Neely
Blue Note Los Angeles1492 Ivar Avenue, Los Angeles 90028
Lau Noah and Adam Neely appear as a duo built around an unusual pairing: Neely on electric bass and Noah on classical acoustic guitar. The evening centers on the music they make together, including material associated with their debut EP, The Way Under. Its sound brings jazz and progressive rock into contact with Spanish folk, classical music, and Americana, giving the two-player format a wide compositional range.
Neely is a bassist and veteran YouTube music educator, also known for Sungazer. His wider work includes Button Masher, Plini, and Joshua de la Victoria. For this project, the pair have taken their music to jazz clubs, neighborhood bars, and classical halls across the United States and Europe. The available information does not establish a shared hometown for the duo, but it emphasizes their musical rapport: an “uncanny musical connection,” “virtuosic sensitivity,” and a “mischievous compositional style.”
A small, dimly lit basement club tucked into a Hollywood corner, Blue Note Los Angeles is a dedicated jazz and live music space with a long-standing reputation for intimate, high-quality performances. The room is modest, with a few rows of seats facing a stage where the music is the focus. It's a place to listen, not to socialize, with the audience often quiet, absorbed in the musicians. Drinks are available, but the atmosphere is centered on the music. Shows are ticketed, with multiple sets each night, and the evening unfolds with a steady rhythm of live music, not casual conversation.
