Rozzi
Blue Note131 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
Rozzi, the singer-songwriter Rozzi Crane, plays Blue Note in Manhattan. The available event information bills her alone, without a listed band, guest, special program, release celebration, or other details about the set. That leaves the focus on her songs and voice in the club’s close listening-room setting.
Born and raised in San Francisco and now based in Los Angeles, Rozzi works in a space described as alternative soul, modern soul-pop, and “sumptuous soul-pop.” She is a vocalist and songwriter who has collaborated with Nile Rodgers, PJ Morton, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, John Taylor, Sheryl Crow, and Jacob Collier, and has toured with Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, and Joss Stone. Reviews of her album Fig Tree have singled out a “super-impressive vocal performance” and “velvet voice,” while another described the record as “warm and lived-in,” with “lyrics that cut deep.”
Blue Note Jazz Club is a dedicated listening room in the heart of Manhattan's jazz district, where the music is the focus and the space is designed to let the sound fill the room. The club features a stage with a small audience area, and the atmosphere is one of quiet concentration on the music. Shows typically begin at 8:00 PM with a second set at 10:30 PM, and the audience sits on chairs close to the stage. The club has a bar, and drinks are available. The experience is primarily about listening to live jazz, with occasional gospel and soul performances, and the audience often stays to talk and enjoy the music after the sets.
