Sheree Sano is billed at Chez Josephine in Manhattan, with no accompanying performers, guest artists, tribute, release, residency, or other special program named for the date. The listing classifies the event as “Other,” so it offers no further detail about the music or set. This is a live-music performance within the club’s full-table dining room, where piano music is part of an evening of French bistro fare, cocktails, and conversation. Chez Josephine sits on Theater Row, close to Broadway houses, and has long welcomed theatergoers and diners alongside its music.
The available information identifies the billed act as Sheree Sano, but provides no biographical background, hometown, musical role, recordings, collaborators, or critical commentary. No venue social post accompanies the listing, and no description explains Sano’s repertoire or usual performance format. What is clear is the setting: Chez Josephine was founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker in homage to his adoptive mother, Josephine Baker. Its room preserves that connection through vintage Baker portraits and memorabilia, crimson velvet walls, chandeliers, and a blue-tin ceiling, framing the performance within the club’s ongoing mix of dining and live piano.
Founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as an homage to his adoptive mother, the legendary entertainer and activist Josephine Baker, this Theater Row piano supper club channels the lavish spirit of 1930s Paris. Beneath a blue-tin ceiling and surrounded by walls lined in crimson velvet, chandeliers illuminate vintage portraits and memorabilia of Baker throughout the room. The sound of live piano accompanies full table dining, featuring French bistro fare alongside a dedicated zinc bar where patrons can stop in for classic cocktails and wine. Rather than a quiet concert hall or ticketed venue, it functions as a social dining room where the music weaves through the buzz of conversation, drawing theatergoers from nearby Broadway houses before curtain and welcoming late-night diners long after the shows let out.
