This week on our Facebook page we started a new “game” of sorts. After putting our heads together and dividing up a bunch of different categories, we came up with the top 52 things we like about living in the Greater Boston area.
My category is Arts which I immediately associated with music, so for our first week we revealed our #1 top spot for Jazz North of Boston. Which is (insert drumroll)…..
The Regattabar Jazz Club at The Charles Hotel! Located in Harvard Square, deep in the heart of the “People’s Republic of Cambridge”, for 25 years this place has brought us the finest Jazz musicians. The two times I saw McCoy Tyner at Regattabar were two of the best nights of my life, for sure. If you’re a lover of Jazz and haven’t been there yet, the Ron Carter Trio is on their schedule for the end of January. I caught Mr. Carter there a few years ago, and wouldn’t miss it this time around.
