Round Midnight Solo Piano With William Hill III
Mezzrow161 West 10th Street, New York 10014
William Hill III plays a solo piano set billed as Round Midnight Solo Piano at Mezzrow in Manhattan. The bill presents Hill alone at the piano, with no additional performers or guests listed. It is a program in Mezzrow’s basement jazz room, where seating is arranged for close listening and the emphasis is on the music rather than a meal. The venue has a bar but no full kitchen. Mezzrow is part of a foundation supporting jazz artists.
Hill’s background is not supplied in the available material: it identifies him only through this Mezzrow billing. No hometown, musical history, collaborators, recordings, or critical notices are given, so this listing does not establish what projects he is known for or whom he has played with. What it does establish is the format for the night: a solo-piano appearance under the Round Midnight title, with Hill carrying the entire performance without any other billed musicians.
Mezzrow offers a focused jazz listening experience in a compact, basement setting where the audience is close enough to catch every subtle note and interaction among musicians. The room features a bar serving drinks but no full kitchen, encouraging guests to settle in for the music rather than a meal. Shows typically have two sets in the evening, with ticketing recommended to secure a spot in this popular venue. The vibe is attentive and respectful, with seating arranged to maximize the connection between performers and listeners. After the sets, the night often extends into late hours with vinyl sessions or jam sessions, making it a place where jazz lives beyond the scheduled performances. This venue is part of a foundation supporting jazz artists, ensuring a vibrant, ongoing presence in Manhattan's music scene.
