It was a sepia night. Warm browns set in a nostalgic jazz setting. The trio captured the oasis-from-the-storm mood that was necessary on this rainy spring night. Couples were in a romantic Coltrane-induced mood. As the trusted doorman, I contributed to the ambience by wearing a 1940’s vintage tie that has a jazz pattern that would never be found at a men’s clothier today. The trio played their version of Alone Together that dates back to the sepia era that the night appeared to draw its strength from. One could feel the 1939 Artie Shaw & His “Symphony of Swing” Orchestra nodding their approval of the trio’s version of this now old standard. The small, but enthusiastic crowd gave the club an after-hours feel, as the musicians played for their own enjoyment between their martini breaks.
