Naama Gheber sings with pianist Brandon Goldberg and bassist Dave Baron. Her set draws on the emotionally direct writing of Rodgers and Hart, Fields and Hugh, Cole Porter, and other composers and lyricists of the 1940s and ’50s.
A New York jazz vocalist, Gheber is known for an urbane, elegant sound, sensitive interpretations and crisp phrasing. She has appeared at jazz venues and festivals in the United States and abroad; reviewers have called her singing “accomplished and mature” and noted its “honeyed warmth.”
One Flight Up offers a focused listening experience in a compact space where the audience is close enough to catch every nuance of the music. The venue features a full bar and no cover charge, requiring only a minimum drink purchase, which encourages a relaxed yet attentive crowd. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early can secure a good spot. Shows typically run from early evening into the night with multiple sets, allowing for a deep dive into the performances. The room’s walls are adorned with music-related art, enhancing the sense of being in a dedicated jazz environment. This is a place where the music is the priority, and the vibe supports both serious listening and casual enjoyment.
