Matt Chertkoff LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Matt Chertkoff plays Roxy Bar in a solo guitar performance. The billing points to a set built around his own approach to unaccompanied playing: a singular, swinging solo guitar style. With no other performers or special event details listed, the focus is squarely on Chertkoff and the range he brings to the guitar alone.
Chertkoff is a guitarist whose work has taken him to jazz festivals and clubs around the globe. Along the way, he has shared the stage with drummer Jimmy Cobb, vocalist Freddy Cole, singer Grady Tate, vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and saxophonist Craig Handy. Those associations place him among musicians with deep connections to jazz repertoire and performance, while Roxy Bar characterizes his playing specifically as singular and swinging. This appearance offers a chance to hear that solo language without a band around it: one guitarist carrying the full set in real time.
Roxy Bar offers a stylish setting where live jazz fills the air, accompanied by a menu that caters to diverse tastes including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The room features plush seating and a well-stocked bar, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy performances by resident musicians or special guests. Shows typically run in the evening with sets from 6pm to 10pm, followed by DJs spinning vinyl late into the night. Weekend brunches also feature live music, blending dining and entertainment seamlessly. The venue balances attentive service with a relaxed vibe, making it a place to savor both cocktails and music without distraction. Its location in Tribeca adds a downtown charm, inviting guests to linger over oysters or a crafted cocktail while soaking in the sounds.
