Ehud Asherie Quartet
Cellar Dog75 Christopher Street, New York 10014
Ehud Asherie is billed with a quartet for this night at Cellar Dog.
Israeli-born, raised in New York after spending part of his childhood in Italy, Asherie is a pianist whose work draws on swing and stride. He has performed with Cécile McLorin Salvant, Wycliffe Gordon, Catherine Russell, John Pizzarelli, Ken Peplowski and Charles McPherson. The New Yorker called him “a master of swing and stride,” while JazzTimes praised his “massive technical reserves.”
Cellar Dog offers a focused jazz experience with nightly performances starting at 7pm, often extending into late-night sets that can go until 2am. The venue features a bar and a modestly sized room where the audience can enjoy the music up close, with seating arranged to encourage attentive listening. The space invites a blend of dedicated jazz fans and those looking for a relaxed evening out, with a balance between conversation and immersion in the music. Shows are ticketed, and the venue’s hours stretch late into the night on weekends, making it a spot for extended musical evenings. The location in New York’s West Village adds a neighborhood charm, with a straightforward setup that puts the music front and center without distractions.
