Brian Charette Trio
Cellar Dog75 Christopher Street, New York 10014
Brian Charette brings his trio to Cellar Dog for an organ-led jazz set.
Born in Meriden, Connecticut, and based in New York’s East Village, Charette has worked with Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, Oz Noy, Vinnie Colaiuta and John Patitucci. The New York Times’ Nate Chinen hears in his playing “the ageless objective of soul-jazz with a trace of restless modernity,” while DownBeat calls him “a burning soloist.”
Cellar Dog offers a focused jazz experience with nightly performances starting at 7pm, often extending into late-night sets that can go until 2am. The venue features a bar and a modestly sized room where the audience can enjoy the music up close, with seating arranged to encourage attentive listening. The space invites a blend of dedicated jazz fans and those looking for a relaxed evening out, with a balance between conversation and immersion in the music. Shows are ticketed, and the venue’s hours stretch late into the night on weekends, making it a spot for extended musical evenings. The location in New York’s West Village adds a neighborhood charm, with a straightforward setup that puts the music front and center without distractions.
