Ben Perowsky Launches Tuesday Night Jazz Series at Doma
NEW YORK, January 23, 2011 / / -- Doma, known literally around the world as one of New York’s City’s most beloved boites for food, coffee, wine, beer and true Village vibe, haunt of writers, artists, musicians and just plain folks, announces another coup for its long reign as the Center of True Village -- Tuesday night jazz. And No Cover!
Co-owner Michael Polesny, a musician and songwriter best known for his heady pop project, Stoneboat, collaborates with curator and world-famous drummer Ben Perowsky to produce the series. Kicking things off with a sultry whispered shout on Valentine’s Monday, Jennifer Charles and Oren Bloedow of Elysian Fields fame will perform with Perowsky on brushes. Special guests will round out Charles’ and Bloedow’s riff on known and lesser-known songbook selections.
The series will truly get under way with Mad Hare March, an incredible line-up of world-class bopsters and popsters every Tuesday in March. Matt Munisteri and Danton Boller roar in like a lion on March 1, Doug Wamble on March 8, Sasha Dobson w/ Trevor Dunn on the Ides themselves, "Bop on Pop" Frank Perowsky with Gary Versace on March 22, and Charlie Burnham going out decidedly unlike a lamb on March 29. Surprise visits from compatriots playing at nearby Village Vanguard, Smalls and Blue Note are likely; and all sets will be drummed by Man Who Was Tuesday Perowsky.
Months following promise more of the best of the best in NYC’s music scene testing and expressing their verbosity within the contexts of more traditional mediums. These almost song-book contexts include gypsy jazz and reinterpretation of standards -- contemporary expressions of traditional folkloric mediums, but not limited to American folklore.
As if these jazz luminaries were not Pied Piper enough, Doma’s combination of great comfort food, great wines and beers at good prices, and espresso drinks pulled by an impressive selection of mesmerizingly un-American baristas should seal the deal. Jazz-lovers can go the wine-and-cheese or coffee-and-dessert route, try light fare such as Panini and salads or a plate of mussels; or dig in to sit-down dinner options that include vegetable lasagna, crispy chicken with roasted vegetables, a turkey dinner with mashed potatoes or a burger and fries. The wine list is considered a best-kept secret in the Village, with fine European wines at low prices, and a beer list featuring Belgian blond ales, wheat beer, rare and less so lagers from both Germany masters and Brooklyn microbreweries.
Curator Ben Perowsky is one of the most accomplished drummers of his generation, part of a small vanguard of players able to move between jazz, experimental music and cutting edge pop and rock. His numerous drumming credits and collaborations make him a curator with the mostess, able to gather some incredible talent for this exciting series.
