Jazz Center at Columbus Circle

I was a little disappointed that the December season for the new Jazz Center was over by the time I got to New York, but I had a great time strolling through the space anyhow. What a spectacular view from the "lobby," as well as, of course, the Rose hall and the Allen Room.

The little Jazz Hall of Fame was open at least and we watched sveral projection presentations for the latest inductees.

What impresses me most about the place though is the vastness of space -- it has a grandness that seems to elude so many public venues these days and I love it. Check out the architect Rafael Vinoly's, page.
