Take 6 hold more Grammy Awards than any vocal group in history, and their entirely a cappella sound — six voices stacking gospel-rooted jazz harmony into something that sounds impossibly full — is a marvel best heard up close. The Blue Note, the Village's flagship jazz club, puts you at a table within arm's reach of that virtuosity across two sets. If you want live jazz that centers the human voice and leaves audiences slack-jawed, this Sunday date is a standout.
What to expect
Expect an intimate club setting with table seating, dinner and drinks service, and two sets built entirely around unaccompanied harmony. The room is small and sightlines are close, so every vocal move is audible and visible. Arrive on time, as seating is by set.
Good to know
- Take the A, B, C, D, E, F or M to West 4th Street, a short walk from the club
- Reserve ahead and note that premium seating is closest to the stage
- There is typically a food or drink minimum in addition to the ticket
- It is a listening-focused room, so hold conversations for the breaks
- Best for fans of vocal jazz, gospel harmony and a cappella craft
- Doors open before each set, so check your set time and arrive early for good seats
