Paul Chamlin
Chez Josephine414 W 42nd St, New York 10036
Paul Chamlin is billed at Chez Josephine in Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, November 10. No accompanying performers are listed, and the event is classified simply as “Other,” with no further details about the set, repertoire, guests, release, tribute, or special format. The performance takes place at the Theater Row supper club founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker in homage to his adoptive mother, Josephine Baker. It is a dining-room engagement rather than a standalone concert presentation, set among French bistro fare, cocktails, wine, and the traffic of nearby theatergoers.
No biographical background, musical formation, collaborators, recordings, or critical notices for Paul Chamlin are provided in the available event information. Chez Josephine’s setting carries its own history: its blue-tin ceiling, crimson velvet walls, chandeliers, and portraits and memorabilia honor Baker and the Paris of the 1930s that inspired the room. Live piano is part of the club’s regular dining experience, where music runs alongside conversation at tables and the zinc bar. For this date, however, the listing identifies only Chamlin’s name and the venue, leaving the particulars of his musical history and this performance’s program unstated.
Founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as an homage to his adoptive mother, the legendary entertainer and activist Josephine Baker, this Theater Row piano supper club channels the lavish spirit of 1930s Paris. Beneath a blue-tin ceiling and surrounded by walls lined in crimson velvet, chandeliers illuminate vintage portraits and memorabilia of Baker throughout the room. The sound of live piano accompanies full table dining, featuring French bistro fare alongside a dedicated zinc bar where patrons can stop in for classic cocktails and wine. Rather than a quiet concert hall or ticketed venue, it functions as a social dining room where the music weaves through the buzz of conversation, drawing theatergoers from nearby Broadway houses before curtain and welcoming late-night diners long after the shows let out.
