A standing free-jazz session at golden hour is the gentlest possible landing for a weekend — no cover, no commitment, drinks in hand while a live band works through jazz and blues standards. Industry City's courtyards in mid-September are at their best, and the food halls solve dinner afterward. If your Sunday evening wants live music without a ticket or a late night, this is precision-engineered for it.
What to expect
A two-hour live set in a relaxed bar setting, with a mixed local crowd winding down the weekend over drinks. Seating is casual and first-come; the vibe is conversation-friendly rather than concert-formal. Wander the campus shops and food halls before the music starts.

- D/N/R to 36 St in Brooklyn
- Free with no ticket — just show up
- Full bar; food halls nearby for dinner
