The Blue Note has attracted some of the biggest names in jazz to its intimate setting. Those who've played here include just about everyone of note: Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Manhattan Transfer, Dr. John, George Duke, Chick Corea, David Sanborn, Arturo Sandoval, Gato Barbieri, and the superb Oscar Peterson. The sound system is excellent, and every seat in the house has a sight line to the stage, however, in recent years, the hard edge that once was the Blue Note has faded. Softer, smoother jazz is the domain now so if that's your thing, enjoy. But be warned prices are astronomical. There are two shows per night, and dinner is served.
