The Real Deal Jazz Club and Cafe
Music
impresario Fenton Hollander has opened a new jazz venue at the Cambridge
Multicultural Arts Center, 2nd St. between Otis and Thorndike Streets
in Cambridge. And what a charming room it is...high ceilings, a balcony,
and the most innovative sound system that Bose has come up with. Wine
and beer and limited snacks are available. It reminded me of an old world
setting, a room that was made for listening to jazz. And once you discover
how easy it is to reach, you'll want to make it a weekly habit. It's
near the Lechmere T stop and parking is available at the East Cambridge
Garage, one block away, for only $3.
For tickets and more information: www.concertix.com or (617) 876-7777.
