Professional Singer/Actress review

The Jazz Bakery is a terrific venue for jazz lovers. Everyone is listening to the performance which means no talking. The accoustics are great.
Every time I have attended these concerts, I have not been disappointed because the quality of performers is so high. A big plus - free and easy parking. Another plus is the very nice restaurant at the corner (Le Dijonnaise).

Frank Morgan and Ronny Matthews playing jazz — seemed like no set program.
Chairs at Jazz Bakery are not comfortable - they are just plastic patio chairs with arms.
Frank is showing his age — he did not introduce any but the first of the tunes he and Ronny played. He moved from one right into the other. There was more air and fewer extraordinary notes than I recall from the last time I saw him at Jazz Bakery - maybe 7 years ago. It was still a nice evening, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

Performance was good, but atmosphere was dull. It was a small crowd and the ambiance was not what I expected for a $30/regular price show. Performers were crammed onto a small stage, the seats were lawn chairs and the room was just a small bare square room.
