Chris Flory Trio
Mezzrow161 West 10th Street, New York 10014
Chris Flory brings his trio to Mezzrow for two early-evening sets, with Flory on guitar, Steve Ash on piano, and Lee Hudson on bass. The bill presents the group in its core guitar, piano, and bass formation, giving the three musicians room for close conversation across both sets. The performance will also be livestreamed from the club.
This listing identifies Flory as the guitarist leading the trio, alongside pianist Steve Ash and bassist Lee Hudson. No further artist biography, recording history, hometown, collaborators, or critical commentary is provided for the group in the available material. What is clear is the personnel for this date: a compact three-piece setting built around Flory's guitar with piano and bass as equal partners in the set.
Mezzrow offers a focused jazz listening experience in a compact, basement setting where the audience is close enough to catch every subtle note and interaction among musicians. The room features a bar serving drinks but no full kitchen, encouraging guests to settle in for the music rather than a meal. Shows typically have two sets in the evening, with ticketing recommended to secure a spot in this popular venue. The vibe is attentive and respectful, with seating arranged to maximize the connection between performers and listeners. After the sets, the night often extends into late hours with vinyl sessions or jam sessions, making it a place where jazz lives beyond the scheduled performances. This venue is part of a foundation supporting jazz artists, ensuring a vibrant, ongoing presence in Manhattan's music scene.
