Bill Dobrow LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Bill Dobrow brings a rotating ensemble to Roxy Bar for a Wednesday night set shaped by his collaborations in jazz improvisation and by his work crafting music for singers across a range of styles. The personnel evolves from show to show, drawing on local and international musicians, so the focus is on Dobrow's musical direction rather than a fixed billed lineup.
A New York City based drummer, percussionist and producer, Dobrow has toured and recorded with The Black Crowes, Sean Lennon, Yoko Ono, Norah Jones, Martha Wainwright, Lisa Loeb, Jesse Harris and Joseph Arthur & The New Professionals. He has also appeared on television with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, and has performed around New York with artists including Patti Smith, Rhymefest, Anthony Wilson and Vinicius Cantuaria. His work extends to Brazilian recordings by Maria Gadú and Tiago Iorc, film and television composition, and co-producing Jesse Harris's Sub Rosa in Rio. Dobrow studied Black Music and Improvisation with Milford Graves.
Roxy Bar offers a stylish setting where live jazz fills the air, accompanied by a menu that caters to diverse tastes including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The room features plush seating and a well-stocked bar, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy performances by resident musicians or special guests. Shows typically run in the evening with sets from 6pm to 10pm, followed by DJs spinning vinyl late into the night. Weekend brunches also feature live music, blending dining and entertainment seamlessly. The venue balances attentive service with a relaxed vibe, making it a place to savor both cocktails and music without distraction. Its location in Tribeca adds a downtown charm, inviting guests to linger over oysters or a crafted cocktail while soaking in the sounds.
