CLASSIC JAZZ with Brian Newman Quintet | 9:00 – 12:00 AM
The Flatiron Room Murray Hill9 East 37th Street, New York 10016
Brian Newman brings his quintet to The Flatiron Room Murray Hill for a Saturday-night set billed as Classic Jazz. The evening runs as part of the group’s Saturday residency at the room, with Newman leading the band in a classic-jazz program the venue describes as “Classic Jazz with a Modern Twist.” Expect a full quintet performance rather than a solo appearance, in a setting built around nightly live music, dining, and a deep spirits selection.
Newman is an American jazz musician, singer, and trumpet player, best known for his numerous performances with Lady Gaga, including her surprise appearances at his New York shows. The Flatiron Room also notes his performances with Wynton Marsalis in connection with US Tennis events. A profile in The Aquarian calls Newman and his band “an all-American class act,” while the venue’s own shorthand points to a musician who brings traditional jazz material into a current live setting. The available information does not name the other members of this quintet, but Newman’s trumpet and vocal work are the identified through line for the band’s residency.
The Flatiron Room offers a refined setting where over 1,000 spirits line the shelves, inviting exploration alongside nightly live music that ranges from blues and jazz to indie and acoustic performances. The space features elegant seating and a full dining menu crafted by Michelin Star Chef Jiho Kim, blending innovative and fresh flavors to complement the music. Guests can enjoy their drinks slowly, with the option to purchase bottles to keep for future visits through the venue's Bottle Keep program. The room’s design encourages attentive listening while allowing for relaxed conversation, making it a place to savor both the performances and the culinary offerings. Shows are ticketed, and the venue opens in the early evening, creating a polished yet welcoming environment for an evening of music and fine spirits.
