The next night, Saturday, after our first concert, Julia, Zoe, Carlos and I went with Ximena and Leonardo for dinner to a restaurant and then to the Club de Jazz in Santiago. Ximena’s brother plays jazz vibrophone and is pretty incredible. We all sit at this little table listening to jazz in the middle of Santiago. This Club is the most famous in Chile. Back in the day, Louis Armstrong played there, and so has Herbie Hancock… Any jazzers want to tour to Chile?
The building has high ceilings and wooden support beams and the jazz makes its way into every corner. Thankfully, the Club has banned smoking indoors, so it’s also a smoke-free haven to enjoy the different bands that play.
One of the bands that night was called “Lemon Pie Jazz,” www.lemonpiejazz.com. I laughed at their name.
