This Thursday-night performance brings a vocalist and quartet together for material from the enduring American popular-song repertoire, presented in the club’s Midtown Manhattan setting.
No further biographical information about Lynn McCune or the Stan Rubin Quartet is provided in the available material. The billing identifies McCune as the featured performer with the quartet and specifies the Songbook focus, but does not name the musicians in the group, describe their individual backgrounds, or include critical commentary on their work.
Live classic jazz and the aroma of hand-rolled cigars share the floor at this Midtown lounge, one of the few remaining indoor spots in Manhattan where smoking is fully permitted. Hand-carved bookcases lined with vintage hardbacks rise toward twenty-foot ceilings, framing a stone fireplace, plush leather seating, and a long cocktail bar stocked with single malts. Guests settle into upholstered armchairs or sofas across the main floor and mezzanine as ensembles perform standards on the ground level, most famously during the Saturday night Sinatra sets backed by an eleven-piece orchestra. Table reservations are essential for performance seating, while the kitchen serves light appetizers and cheese boards alongside bespoke cocktails.
