Keyed Up! presents Monday Night Jazz
11th St Bar510 E 11th St, New York 10009
Monday Night Jazz brings the 11th St. Bar Quintet back for its long-running weekly session, held every Monday for more than a decade. This five-piece bill features Clovis Nicholas on bass, Richard Clements on piano, Joe Strasser on drums, Grant Stewart on tenor saxophone, and Joe Magnarelli on trumpet.
The quintet is the venue's Monday-night house band, with a lineup that can rotate from week to week. This edition is sponsored by Keyed Up! Jazz.
A basement club in the East Village, 11th St Bar is a steady fixture for live music, hosting regular house band sets and long-running residencies. The room is a modest space where the audience sits on wooden benches, close enough to hear every note from the front row. Shows typically run from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with multiple sets and a relaxed, conversational atmosphere. The bar is present, offering drinks to accompany the music, and the evening is a night out where people listen, talk, and share in the energy of the performers. It's a place where local musicians play with authenticity and warmth, and the audience is there to experience the music, not just watch it.
