What better way to spend an evening than to listen to jazz, sample wines and South African- and Chilean-inspired small plates, and chill out with friends? Hanging out at 626 Reserve downtown is a great way to recover from your weekend. At this wine bar located in the arts district downtown, you’ll see both after-work wine enthusiasts and hip loft dwellers relaxing in a warm, cozy environment surrounded by fine art from the gallery next door.
Each Tuesday evening from 6 to 9 p.m., in particular, you can hear an exceptionally talented Japanese guitarist named Goh Kurosawa, accompanied by his brother Kai (a bassist and master of the Warr guitar), provide the musical backdrop to the scene. His interests stem from various genres, namely flamenco, classical, jazz, Brazilian, tango, North Indian, Balkan, free improvisation, rock, and Afro-Beat. Additionally, his style reflects the spirit of his homeland, Japan.
At the 626 Reserve gigs, Goh says the music is mainly in the “background,†although if you’re a music fan, he’s sure to capture your attention. Moreover, you’ll have several opportunities in 2008 to see him lead his band, Sharp Three, at venues throughout the area. Stay tuned….
626 Reserve is located at 626 South Spring Street in Los Angeles (213-627-9800).
