Arriving Somewhere

Last night we went to the famous and historic jazz supper club, Blues Alley. We were there to see our friends’ fusion band M Theory. What a great evening. I don’t have much experience with jazz clubs, but this was everything you could have wanted. A hole in a wall down an alley, one had to wonder how many of the teeming masses walking around Georgetown know that this place exists. I felt like I had stepped out of Washington and onto a movie set when I walked in. The only thing missing was cigarette smoke, and it wasn’t missed.

M Theory played two sets and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. These guys are great musicians, but completely unpretentious. It was obvious that they were having a good time. I highly recommend catching them sometime soon, as all but one member recently graduated from the University of Maryland with Master’s Degrees in jazz and who knows what the future holds for them. Also be sure to check out Blues Alley. It’s a bit pricey, but worth the experience.
