The Read
LaFarge plays prewar American forms without treating them as costume, which is a narrow line and he stays on it. The band swings. The songs are originals more often than audiences assume.
The Venue
Sony Hall
235 W 46th St
Sony Hall keeps the decorative character of the old Diamond Horseshoe while putting a broad concert program beneath its starburst ceiling.

Before
Lazzara's Pizza CafeUp a flight of stairs on West 38th to a thin square pie cut into rectangles, sold by the slab. Half the tables are people from the buildings around it on their lunch hour.
8:00 PM · Pokey LaFarge
After
Jimmy's CornerA narrow bar off Times Square papered floor to ceiling with fight posters. Jimmy Glenn cornered Ali. The jukebox runs soul and the pours are heavy.
