Jazz Vespers: Tyler Bassett and Vince Carr
Saint Peter's Church619 Lexington Avenue, New York 10022
Jazz Vespers brings vocalist Tyler Bassett and vocalist-pianist Vince Carr to Saint Peter’s for a jazz prayer service, joined by a trio.
Saint Peter's Church offers a unique setting where jazz music and spiritual history intertwine beneath the streets of Midtown Manhattan. The venue is a 178-seat space located in the church's lower level, featuring a recently restored Strayhorn piano that highlights its deep jazz roots. The room’s acoustics are carefully designed to support a range of performances, from intimate jazz sets to more expansive musical events, with a digital sound system enhancing every note. The audience can expect a focused listening experience in a space that balances reverence and artistic expression, often accompanied by a bar but no full restaurant. Shows are typically ticketed, and the environment encourages attentive appreciation rather than casual conversation, making for an evening where music and history resonate together.
