Jazz at the Chocolate Factory

Jazz at the Chocolate Factory

May 28, 2009

I’ve just found out about a new, and unlikely, place to go hear jazz in New York City: the Cacao Bar at the Chocolate Factory, a.k.a. MarieBelle. Most of the time, it’s a chi-chi caf—on the 2nd floor of 762 Madison Avenue, between E. 65th and 66th Streets—that serves hyper-rich chocolates, exotic drinks, and (so I’m told) killer short ribs. But on Wednesday nights, from 7:30 to 10, jazz musicians—a pianist and usually just one or two others (there’s no room for more)—come in and play.

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I have been getting into vinyl lately through a Technics Sl-D2 turntable connected to a crappy BBE phono preamp going into a bose wave cd player aux input. As would be expected, I'm craving something a little more hi-fi. I would like to keep the price under $2000. Here's what I have come up with...any suggestions?

Rega P1 Turntable
Music Hall A25.2 integrated amp
Epos ELS 3 Mini Monitor Speakers
NAD PP2 phono stage

any suggestions?

Sad to hear of the death of guitarist/keyboard player/singer/songwriter/mad genius Jay Bennett at age 45. I don’t want to be a hater here but like many others, his portrayal in the Wilco film, <I>I Am Trying To Break Your Heart</I>has always been very problematic for me.
