02/20/07 10 Great Places To Get Jazzed About
by Kathy Baruffi
USA Today
Swing your way through Black History Month with jazz. Rooted in African folk music traditions and the American soil, jazz was invented in the USA. Trumpeter/composer Wynton Marsalis shares his picks of top jazz clubs with Kathy Baruffi for USA TODAY. Marsalis is artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, the first complex ever built specifically for this indigenous music form. The state-of-the-art spaces include the cozy Dizzy Club Coca-Cola (jalc.org), where top talent is served together with great food and knockout views of the skyline. Yoshi'sOakland With its corner stage and tables fanning out on tiered levels, there isn't a bad seat in the house. "This place is a stalwart. It has been through ups and downs but remains the essence of the '60s jazz scene. Yoshi's has tremendous integrity. Their booking and presentation is right on," Marsalis says. There is sushi on the menu and live music every night of the week. 510-238-9200; yoshis.com
