Special Friday Sinatra Show
The Carnegie Club150-156 West 56th Street, New York 10105
On Friday, the Carnegie Club presents its Special Friday Sinatra Show, performed by Steven Maglio and the Stan Rubin Orchestra. The billing identifies Maglio and the orchestra but gives no further personnel, repertoire, guest artist, or occasion beyond the Sinatra focus. It takes place at the Carnegie Club on West 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where live classic jazz is part of the room’s regular program.
Beyond this booking, the available material offers no biography for Maglio or the Stan Rubin Orchestra, and no account of where they come from, their musical history, or collaborators. It also provides no critical notices or quotations about either performer. The club itself is a Midtown lounge with hand-carved bookcases, vintage hardbacks, a stone fireplace, leather seating, and a cocktail bar; its regular ground-floor ensembles perform standards. Guests can watch from the main floor or mezzanine, and hand-rolled cigars are permitted indoors in this lounge.
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.
