Bushwick, in Brooklyn
Ornithology Jazz Club
Jazz Club · 6 Suydam St
A jazz club on Suydam Street in Bushwick built around a Bechstein grand piano, with seating close enough to the players to watch their hands.
A Charlie Parker line about music being your own experience, your own thoughts and your own wisdom runs across the front of the club's site, and it sets the terms for the booking.
The cocktail list is long, running both classic and contemporary drinks, and the bar is as much of the operation as the stage. Screenings and other one-off events turn up on the calendar between music bookings.
