It’s been quite a while since Woody Allen and his jazz band played a show at NY’s Cafe Carlyle. Five years to be exact since bandleader Eddy Davis passed away.
Last year I asked Woody if he would play live again. He said it was unlikely. With Davis gone, Woody was pessimistic there would be a return.
But there he was Monday night at Cafe Bouloud on the East Side, wailing away on his clarinet with the whole band. The club inside Cafe Bouloud is called Maison Barnes, and it’s a winner. Wow. Maybe NYC is back!
At least Woody is back, which is very reassuring in this insane moment in American history.
Special thanks to Woody and Soon Yi’s daughter Bechet for capturing the moment on video.
