del.icio.usIt used to be that jazz clubs were smoky places that sent patrons out into the early morning with their ears ringing and their eyes stinging. But if you’re catching a jazz act at one joint in Park Slope, the only smoke is coming from the grill.
Last week, the Brooklyn Burger Bar got into the live music mix, kicking off a bi-weekly series of jazz performances.
“We are playing music that comes out of the post-bebop school,” Charles Sibirsky, a local pianist and organizer of the series, told GO Brooklyn. “There’s a walking bass kind of feel to it. We play standards, Monk tunes, originals and more.”
According to Sibirsky, this isn’t the experimental free jazz that you might tap your toes to at Barbes, but the “older, swing feeling” will appeal to the jazz traditionalist and bacon cheeseburger aficionado alike.
Live jazz will be performed every Thursday and Saturday from 9 pm–1 am at the Brooklyn Burger Bar (444 Ninth St., at Seventh Avenue in Park Slope). No cover. For information, call (718) 832-5500.
