Tardo Hammer brings his trio to One Flight Up for an evening of modern jazz piano trio playing.

One Flight Up offers a focused listening experience in a compact space where the audience is close enough to catch every nuance of the music. The venue features a full bar and no cover charge, requiring only a minimum drink purchase, which encourages a relaxed yet attentive crowd. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early can secure a good spot. Shows typically run from early evening into the night with multiple sets, allowing for a deep dive into the performances. The room’s walls are adorned with music-related art, enhancing the sense of being in a dedicated jazz environment. This is a place where the music is the priority, and the vibe supports both serious listening and casual enjoyment.
