Ehud Asherie Trio
Jazzcultural347 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Pianist Ehud Asherie leads a trio with David Wong on bass and Carl Allen on drums at Jazzcultural.
Israeli-born and New York-based, Asherie is a “master of swing and stride” whose work also reaches into bop and earlier jazz traditions. He has performed with Cécile McLorin Salvant, Wycliffe Gordon, Catherine Russell, John Pizzarelli and Charles McPherson; DownBeat has said he “makes things fresh” and makes the music “feel alive.”
Jazzcultural offers a distinctive live music experience in Manhattan, housed in a space that invites close connection between performers and audience. The venue features a modestly sized room where the sound carries clearly, allowing even those at the back to catch the nuances of each set. Seating is available but limited, encouraging an attentive listening environment without the distraction of a bustling bar scene. The venue operates with ticketed shows, often featuring multiple sets that stretch into the late evening, giving you a full night of music. While there is a bar, the focus remains on the performances, making it a place to immerse yourself in the artistry of jazz. The neighborhood adds a quiet charm, making the walk to and from the venue part of the evening’s rhythm.
