JAZZ & BLUES with Matt Chertkoff | 6:15 PM – 10:15 PM
The Flatiron Room Murray Hill9 East 37th Street, New York 10016
Matt Chertkoff brings a Jazz & Blues set to The Flatiron Room Murray Hill. The evening is billed simply as “JAZZ & BLUES with Matt Chertkoff,” with no additional performers or ensemble formation announced, so expect the focus to be on Chertkoff’s guitar-led playing rather than a specified trio or guest feature. It is part of the room’s nightly live-music program, alongside its dining menu and extensive spirits selection.
A New York-based jazz guitarist, Chertkoff is known both as a trio leader and for work in larger group settings. The NoMad Jazz Festival describes his playing as “soulful” and carrying an “effortless groove,” while SmallsLIVE notes the influence of guitarists Wes Montgomery and George Benson. His collaborators have included Jimmy Cobb, Houston Person, Freddy Cole and Grady Tate, as well as David “Fathead” Newman, Cecil Brooks, Bernie Worrell, Percy Sledge and Lester Chambers. That history places this date in the hands of a musician with deep connections across jazz, soul and blues-oriented bandstands.
The Flatiron Room offers a refined setting where over 1,000 spirits line the shelves, inviting exploration alongside nightly live music that ranges from blues and jazz to indie and acoustic performances. The space features elegant seating and a full dining menu crafted by Michelin Star Chef Jiho Kim, blending innovative and fresh flavors to complement the music. Guests can enjoy their drinks slowly, with the option to purchase bottles to keep for future visits through the venue's Bottle Keep program. The room’s design encourages attentive listening while allowing for relaxed conversation, making it a place to savor both the performances and the culinary offerings. Shows are ticketed, and the venue opens in the early evening, creating a polished yet welcoming environment for an evening of music and fine spirits.
