Special Friday Sinatra Show
The Carnegie Club150-156 West 56th Street, New York 10105
Steven Maglio joins the Stan Rubin Orchestra for the Carnegie Club’s Special Friday Sinatra Show, a Friday-night program devoted to the Sinatra songbook. The listing presents Maglio with the orchestra rather than a solo appearance, bringing a full ensemble to Midtown Manhattan for an evening of classic repertoire. At the Carnegie Club, live standards are heard amid hand-carved bookcases, a stone fireplace, leather seating and a long cocktail bar, with performances taking place on the ground level.
The available event information identifies Maglio and the Stan Rubin Orchestra as the performers, but provides no biographical background, hometowns, previous collaborations or critical notices for either act. What is clear is the musical frame: this is a Sinatra-focused show by a vocalist and orchestra, fitting a room known for live classic jazz and standards. The venue is one of the remaining Manhattan indoor venues where smoking is permitted, and its setting includes vintage books, high ceilings and a mezzanine overlooking the main floor.
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.
