the diamond club in tokyo

I had the good fortune to get to sit in and play a couple of tunes at the Diamond Club in Yotsuya, Tokyo (near Shinjuku) with Nosho Yoshihiro on Saturday. A great time. By the way, if you ever call out a tune, make sure you remember the head!






One thing different in Tokyo is that the subways quit running around 1am, so things have to wrap-up before that so people can leave and not get stranded on the way home. This club closed at 11:30pm. On the other hand here in NYC I've played sets starting at 1am, and some sets (like at Showman's) start at 2am.

So if you're ever visiting Tokyo and wanna hear some music, check this place out. The staff is really, really nice, too!
