First
time
ever
writing
a
review,
As
a
group
of
10
people
of
mixed
races,
some
of
us
visiting
New
York
to
meet
friends
and
family,
we
were
eager
to
spend
an
enjoyable
evening
together
in
the
city.
I
must
admit
that
I
am
not
a
jazz
enthusiast,
but
I
was
looking
forward
to
having
a
lovely
time
with
my
friends
and
family
in
this
jazz
bar.
Unfortunately,
our
excitement
was
short-lived,
as
we
were
not
even
able
to
enter
the
establishment.
The
staff
at
this
jazz
bar
displayed
an
appalling
level
of
unprofessionalism
and
racist
behavior,
blatantly
discriminating
against
our
diverse
group.
This
went
against
the
very
spirit
of
jazz,
a
genre
that
is
known
for
its
celebration
of
diversity
and
inclusion.
Our
diverse
group
should
have
been
a
cause
for
celebration
in
the
world
of
jazz,
which
is
known
for
embracing
diversity
and
inclusion.
Instead,
we
were
subjected
to
a
night
of
mistreatment
and
disrespect.
This
went
against
everything
we
believed
jazz
music
represented.
If
you
are
looking
for
an
enjoyable
night
out
with
friends
or
family,
I
strongly
advise
against
visiting
this
jazz
bar.
The
disgraceful
conduct
displayed
by
the
staff
is
a
stain
on
the
jazz
community
and
will
only
serve
to
ruin
your
evening.
There
are
countless
other
jazz
bars
in
New
York
City
that
celebrate
diversity
and
provide
the
warm,
welcoming
atmosphere
you
deserve.
Steer
clear
of
this
place
and
let
your
night
be
filled
with
good
vibes
and
great
music
elsewhere.
