Even before the Pandemic shut down some places, namely awful, shitty bars on Sixth Street, venues for drinking and hosting local talent have always come and gone since I moved here in 1994. There’s finally a new one I’m completely stoked about thanks to the Moontower Comedy Fest utilizing it, the Parker Jazz Club. It didn’t take me too long to figure out the joint is dedicated to Charlie Parker, most famous for composing “Birdland” and I think a Clint Eastwood movie; before you crucify me for stealing another culture and La La Landsplaining it, I’m just stating a fact, not mansplaining. So cool your heals over anxious SJWs.
The drink prices need some work unless they don’t want people to get sloshed, don’t want people buying many and they definitely want people to nurse the one they bought, $13 for a Blazing Saddles? Then again isn’t nursing one drink all evening a tradition in Jazz?
