Dimitriou's Jazz Alley
2005.8.12
Even though I've heard of this joint for years. This is the first time I'm here. It's not really an alley. You come in from the back door of a semi-modern building. It's the lobby. Quite airy. Acoustic-wise, it's not an ideal setting. Curtains were drawn. Sound is partly distributed by amplifiers. Waiters walk around often, taking orders and dishes. So quite a distraction and noise, even though they try hard to keep it minimum. If you are here for dinner or drinks, with a live music stage, it would be nice (however, we didn't try their food). Still, this place always seems to get some reputable artists. So, if you want to see an artist playing up close, this would be perfect.
