Andy LaVerne at the Kitano

Andy LaVerne's Piano/Organ Trio played at the Kitano Hotel in New York City on Saturday, 1 December 2007. Joining Andy were Anthony Pinciatti on percussion and Gary Versace on organ. It was a great night in an intimate setting. If you've not been, you've got to go. It's owned by a Japanese firm, as reflected in its style and sensibility. Elegant, clean, lines with a mix of marble and mahogany in its lobby and bar. I haven't been to one of its guest rooms yet, but they've received high praise from what I've read. The jazz series run throughout the year, with shows Wednesday through Saturday nights. 66 Park Avenue, Murray Hill (just downtown of midtown and within walking distance of Grand Central Terminal).
