Great live Jazz in Philly
On Saturday night, my wife and I went to Zanzibar Blue, www.zanzibarblue.com, at 200 S. Broad St. and heard a spectacular concert with jazz guitar great Russell Malone- to pick up a copy of his latest release "Playground" click here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...ce&s=music He and his quartet were amazing!!! Apparently Malone was the lead guitarist for Harry Connick jr. in the mid-90's then toured extensively with jazz diva Diana Krall in recent years. Anyway, he is outstanding if you are into great jazz guitar. His piano player is great also... Zanzibar Blue really seems to bring in some TOP NOTCH jazz talent- later this month they will be hosting Dianne Schur and Acoustic Alchemy, then next month they will host trumpet great Maynard Ferguson, among others! Check it out! Anyone else know of other great jazz/blues spots in Philly?? I am also interested in places that host jazz open microphone nights- I have been studying jazz guitar for a few years and looking to get out and gig a little bit...

ortleib's jazzhaus in northern liberties is a fantastic jazz club. i've never been to zanzibar blue but i've heard it's a bit more upscale -- i think you'll find ortleib's a little less refined, but not lacking in quality and atmosphere. the yam fries are great, too.
