Alex Goodman Trio
Saint Tuesday24 Cortlandt Alley, New York 10013
Alex Goodman Trio is billed for this night.
Canadian guitarist and composer Alex Goodman grew up in Toronto and moved to New York in 2012. His trio work explores the format’s “full expressive range,” and an earlier performance was described as a “fast-moving and enjoyable evening” of his originals and less-common standards. Goodman won first prize and the Public’s Choice Award at the 2014 Montreux Jazz Festival International Guitar Competition; critics have praised his “fluid lyricism” and “unique musical voice.”
Saint Tuesday occupies a subcellar space beneath the Walker Hotel Tribeca, where live jazz fills the room nightly from 9:30 pm to midnight. The venue’s focus on quality is evident in its cocktail program, which features straightforward recipes crafted with fresh ingredients and modern takes on American classics. The room’s low-ceilinged, underground setting creates a close connection between performers and audience, with a bar serving drinks that complement the music. Shows are ticketed and reservations are recommended to secure a spot in this intimate setting. The vibe encourages attentive listening rather than casual conversation, making it a place to fully immerse in the music while enjoying expertly made cocktails. The venue’s late hours and consistent live performances make it a reliable choice for a refined night out in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.
