The Read

Spalding won Best New Artist and then spent fifteen years making records that would have prevented her winning it. The recent work is closer to art song than jazz.

The Venue

Shape The Night

Before

Russian Samovar

0.4 mi · 7 min walk - Midtown West - Theater District

Infused vodkas by the carafe with a piano going late. Brodsky and Baryshnikov backed it in 1986 and the late crowd still skews people who just finished working.

After

Empanada Mama

Long walk · 0.5 mi · 11 min walk; 2 min ride - Hell's Kitchen

Forty kinds of empanada and a full arepa list, open well past when the rest of Ninth shuts. Start with the viuda.
