New York City's Newest Jazz Hang
In The Heart of Greenwich Village
Thurs Dec 27 9pm and 11pm
William Galison
With a thoughtful sense of traditional jazz vocabulary and a beautiful respect for melody from a world of sources, William Galison creates a fresh and individual voice on an instrument that scant few players in the jazz world have mastered- the harmonica. His playing transcends the pure jazz idiom with a sophisticated approach to harmony and a soulful lyricism that makes his music as intelligent as it is moving.
Here is a person who has accumulated a wealth of musical accolades, despite his young career,"just passing through" from the US, and playing his superb music for us. After hearing him live I can honestly say that the “voice" of this jazz harmonicist was sublime and something with which I had never had direct experience. As Will intimated during the performance, the call for “real" harmonica players has subsided somewhat since the development of digital sampling. But this master leaves no room for the simulations of the musical digerati.

Cachaa (pronounced “ka-SHA-sa") is the newest late-night Jazz Club in Greenwich Village, located at 35 W. 8th Street between Fithth & Sixth Avenue in New York City. The name Cachaa is inspired by the Brazilian unrefined sugarcane juice and is the principal ingredient in a Caipirinha (pronounced “kai-pee-REEN-yah"), the national cocktail of Brazil. (Please see the drink menu).
Cachaa is a beautiful, intimate room decorated in a Brazilian theme featuring the best in live jazz and world music. A double bass in our lobby sets the tone and vibe of the club. A perfectly conditioned 1932 mahogany 7 foot Steinway piano graces the stage. The room is tuned using a double bass as an acoustic reference, resulting in a superb listening experience. A quiet policy applies during each performance.
The cover charge is $10, plus a $15 minimum per person.
No food is served, however menus from selected area restaurants are available.
The new Greenwich Village club Cachaa is already making its mark on the area's teeming jazz scene with a musician friendly atmosphere and late night schedule that mixes mainstream, Brazilian and AfroCuban... -- Russ Musto, All About Jazz - New York
