Fima Ephron Band
The Django2 6th Avenue, New York 10013
Fima Ephron Band comes to The Django for an evening led by bassist Fima Ephron. The billed band format is the only lineup detail announced for this date, with no individual band members or special programme specified. Expect a set centered on a musician whose work has made him a regular presence on New York stages for decades.
Born in London, Ephron moved to New York at age three and has built his career there as a bassist. The Django calls him a “mainstay of the New York and International music scene for decades,” and notes that Meshell N'Degeocello, Natalie Merchant, Mike Stern, Chris Potter and Nate Smith have selected him as their “low end anchor.” Those associations point to the range of artists who have relied on Ephron's playing, from established figures to newer collaborators, while this date puts his own band name on the bill.
The Django offers a subterranean jazz experience inspired by Parisian boîtes, with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls that frame a stage equipped with a state-of-the-art Meyer Sound system. The venue combines two cocktail bars and an open dining area where you can enjoy an elevated menu alongside live performances every night. The evening unfolds with a focus on attentive listening, enhanced by award-winning cocktails crafted by Natasha David and a selection of small plates and dinner options. Shows require a cover charge and reservations are recommended to secure your spot. The setting invites you to settle in for a night of rich jazz sounds, fine food, and carefully mixed drinks, all within the cellar level of the Roxy Hotel, creating a distinct mood that feels both exclusive and welcoming.
