Red Cat Jazz Cafe

"Uptown sophistication with a down-home Southern twist. Even if you don't know Miles Davis from Buddy Miles or John Coltrane from John Legend (or jazz fusion from fusion cooking, for that matter), there's something about being in a jazz club that automatically makes you feel more, well, sophisticated. Red Cat Jazz Café, though, offers uptown sophistication with a down-home Southern twist and spacious brick-wall acoustics that ensure you never miss a (blue) note. Several of the Red Cat's resident artists - elder-statesman vocalist Ardis Turner and New Orleans native/Patti LaBelle duet partner Mary Griffin - play jazz that, like Houston itself, has been heavily infiltrated by blues, R&B and soul." - Houston Press
