Matthew Avedon LIVE at Roxy Bar
Roxy Bar2 Avenue of the Americas, New York 10013
Matthew Avedon plays a live guitar set at Roxy Bar’s Saturday brunch, drawing on bebop and swing. The listing presents him as the musical focus of the meal and says he moves readily between those traditions, promising a set built around guitar-led jazz rather than a specific tribute, release, or guest appearance. No accompanying musicians are named for this date, so the billed performance is best understood as Avedon live.
Avedon is a New York guitarist, described by Roxy Bar as “famed” and as an artist who can go “from bebop to swing and back again.” A 2020 interview identifies him as a “gypsy jazz guitarist,” adding another useful frame for his playing. Another Roxy Bar listing has billed a Matthew Avedon Trio, though the available information does not name its members or establish that formation for this brunch. The material offers no confirmed collaborators or independent critical assessments.
Roxy Bar offers a stylish setting where live jazz fills the air, accompanied by a menu that caters to diverse tastes including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The room features plush seating and a well-stocked bar, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy performances by resident musicians or special guests. Shows typically run in the evening with sets from 6pm to 10pm, followed by DJs spinning vinyl late into the night. Weekend brunches also feature live music, blending dining and entertainment seamlessly. The venue balances attentive service with a relaxed vibe, making it a place to savor both cocktails and music without distraction. Its location in Tribeca adds a downtown charm, inviting guests to linger over oysters or a crafted cocktail while soaking in the sounds.
