We’ll play the landmark Columbia release on our reference-grade audio system.

Aired live as part of CBS's The Seven Lively Arts series and curated with help from renowned jazz critics Nat Hentoff and Whitney Balliett, The Sound of Jazz brought together over 30 titans of the genre without flash, gimmicks, or forced script. It captured raw, unfiltered interplay across generations and styles—bridging swing-era legends, Chicago jazz pioneers, and modernists under one roof.

Our listening session highlights the monumental lineup featured on the recording and broadcast, including:

Billie Holiday & Lester Young: Featuring their poignant, emotional performance on "Fine and Mellow"—one of their final reunions on tape.

Count Basie & His All-Stars: Delivering driving rhythm and swing brilliance on tracks like "Dickie's Dream".

Thelonious Monk: Showcasing modern jazz innovation with his legendary trio performance of "Blue Monk".

Henry "Red" Allen, Coleman Hawkins, & Ben Webster: Bringing fiery blues and timeless tenor solos to life on "Wild Man Blues" and "Rosetta".

Our audio space is configured to bring out every detail of these historic Columbia 30th Street Studio sessions—from the natural room ambiance to the delicate, unvarnished tone of each soloist. Grab a drink, settle in, and experience a foundational moment in jazz heritage as it was meant to be heard.

Join us Wednesday night as C4RM presents another legendary Jazz album.   Doors open at 6:30 PM | Intro & Listen at 7:00 PM
