Playing at CUT DC by Wolfgang Puck, Georgetown
A New Musical Habitat: CUT DC by Wolfgang Puck
A New Musical Habitat: CUT DC by Wolfgang Puck
One of the things I like most about being a pianist is that I never know where the music will take me. Sweet Something got a call the other day for a gig in LA. I was like, “seriously, you don’t have better musicians in California?” While we didn’t get the gig, but it’s cool that they were even checking us out.
I’ve played wineries, country clubs, historic inns, wedding venues, restaurants, homes, patios, balconies, a Walmart grand opening and even an alpaca auction. Most recently this piano jazziness has brought me to CUT DC by Wolfgang Puck — smack in the middle of Georgetown. I'm genuinely excited about this new spot.
CUT sits inside the Rosewood Hotel just a few steps from the C&O Canal, just around the corner from the revered Blues Alley. Georgetown has always felt like one of those neighborhoods where every building has a story and every side street seems to be hiding something interesting. CUT fits right in. It's refined without being stuffy, upscale yet accessible.
Naturally the room has a piano, which is fortunate, because that’s where I come in.
Catch me there on upcoming Friday or Saturday nights. You’ll get mostly jazz standards, but a few drinks in and you’ll hear in Elton John tune or two. So come out. Catch some jazz. Enjoy the evening.
I can't help but appreciate one final connection. CUT DC is located inside the Rosewood Hotel, whose New York sibling, The Carlyle, is home to the legendary Bemelmans Bar. For generations, some of the city's finest pianists have played beneath those famous murals, providing the soundtrack for countless New York evenings. I'm certainly not suggesting Georgetown and the Upper East Side are interchangeable, but it's fun to know that somewhere in the Rosewood family tree there's a piano bar with a history that every jazz pianist can admire.
See me at CUT DC, or as I like to call it, Bemelmans DC.
