Keyed Up! ft. Jeanne Gies & Michael Rorby w/ guests
Frankie & Johnnie's Steakhouse320 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Keyed Up! is billed at Frankie & Johnnie’s Steakhouse with featured guests Jeanne Gies and Michael Rorby, plus additional guests. The listing gives no instruments, personnel beyond those names, or special project title, so the bill is best understood as a guest-featured Keyed Up! engagement rather than a defined fixed lineup. It takes place in the steakhouse’s downstairs bar and lounge, where live jazz accompanies dinner, drinks, and bar seating.
No biographical profile, hometown, discography, prior collaborators, or press quotations for Keyed Up!, Jeanne Gies, or Michael Rorby accompanies this event. What is clear is the setting: Frankie & Johnnie’s began as a Prohibition-era speakeasy in 1926 and now presents live jazz downstairs within a full-service Manhattan steakhouse. The room is a restaurant performance space rather than a formal listening room, with the music playing alongside conversation, cocktails, and dinner.
Originating as a Prohibition-era speakeasy in 1926, this historic Manhattan steakhouse pairs classic dining with live jazz at its downstairs bar and lounge. The venue operates as a full-service restaurant across two levels, setting dark wood and low lighting against a backdrop of live sets where patrons can sip cocktails at the bar or settle into tables for dinner. Rather than a formal ticketed listening room, performances carry no cover charge and supply the soundtrack to an evening of conversation, drinks, and prime steaks. While the upstairs dining room offers a quieter dinner by a working fireplace, the downstairs bar area is where audiences gather on chairs and barstools to hear musicians play up close. Reservations are recommended for full dinner service, though bar seating accommodates casual drop-ins.
