About
Grammy-nominated duo The Baylor Project bring their Livin' On Joy tour to the Blue Note — gospel-rooted, soul-drenched live jazz, two sets a night.
Jean Baylor's voice and Marcus Baylor's drums have earned multiple Grammy nominations by pulling jazz back to its church-and-soul roots, and 'Livin' On Joy' is exactly what it sounds like — a set built to make a room feel good. The Blue Note's tight supper-club setting puts you close enough to see the interplay that makes a working band special. If you want the classic New York jazz-club night done at the highest level, this is the weekend's booking.
What to expect
An intimate table-service club with two shows a night; you'll be seated tightly with strangers, drinks and dinner available through the set. Early shows skew a bit more relaxed, late shows a bit more loose and vocal. Expect around 75–90 minutes of gospel-fired jazz with serious musicianship on every solo.
Good to know
- Two sets nightly — the late set tends to be the looser, more play-it-out hang
- Table seating is communal and close; arrive early for spots near the stage
- Food and drink minimums typically apply at tables
- A/B/C/D/E/F/M to W 4 St puts you a short walk from the club
- Intimate room — great for dates, fine solo at the bar
- Book ahead; the Blue Note sells out name acts routinely
