I just wanted to share a few pictures from last Monday's Bad Ass Jazz Night. These pictures really bring out why our Monday jazz scene is so special. The band sets up in the back of our small bar: there's no room for a band stand or stage, and sometimes it's hard to tell where the band ends and the audience begins.

We think that Shelley Carrol and his friends provide the single best night of jazz to be found anywhere in Dallas, Texas . . . or maybe all of Texas, for that matter. The secret? The music is kept raw and improvisational, the way jazz is meant to be. The musicians can jam, interact, and improvise.

Join us Monday nights at The Amsterdam Bar for Bad Ass Jazz Night. Get there by 9:00 PM if you want a seat.
