A.C.E.
The Django2 6th Avenue, New York 10013
A.C.E. brings bassist Alexander Claffy and his quartet to The Django for a late-night set of swinging, cutting-edge modern jazz. The event page identifies Claffy as the group’s leader, while leaving the quartet’s other personnel unlisted.
Beyond this engagement, the available information identifies Claffy as a bassist but does not establish where he is from, name regular collaborators, or document the quartet’s previous work. No critical quotations or reception details are provided, so this appearance is best approached as a chance to hear Claffy lead his own small group in a modern-jazz setting.
The Django offers a subterranean jazz experience inspired by Parisian boîtes, with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls that frame a stage equipped with a state-of-the-art Meyer Sound system. The venue combines two cocktail bars and an open dining area where you can enjoy an elevated menu alongside live performances every night. The evening unfolds with a focus on attentive listening, enhanced by award-winning cocktails crafted by Natasha David and a selection of small plates and dinner options. Shows require a cover charge and reservations are recommended to secure your spot. The setting invites you to settle in for a night of rich jazz sounds, fine food, and carefully mixed drinks, all within the cellar level of the Roxy Hotel, creating a distinct mood that feels both exclusive and welcoming.
