The Boyfriend (TB) and I went to Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley tonight to see and hear PineTop Perkins, a legendary blues musician.
Surprisingly, at my age (41) and with as long as I’ve lived in Seattle (15 years), I’ve never been to Jazz Alley before.
The entrance to Jazz Alley is, in fact, in an alley which is framed by some cool murals.

The interior is sophisticated, yet comfortable. Walls painted in muted colors, showcasing paintings of music greats. Ceiling-to-floor curtains covering the street-facing windows. The club has a small, adequate selection of wines and cocktails plus a dinner menu that includes a couple of vegetarian and vegan choices. TB and I dined elsewhere but did partake of a couple of drinks each at the club. I had some wine. TB had two cocktails featuring watermelon liqueur—they tasted kind of like Slurpees with a kick.
I’ll post pictures of Jazz Alley’s interior and the musicians who performed tonight if: 1) I can find my USB cable to connect my cell phone camera to my computer; [done] 2) I can figure out how to transfer photos from my phone to my computer [done] I can transfer photos from my phone to my laptop without the connection dropping; and 3) any of the pictures are worth posting. (The camera on my cell phone is … well, not state-of-the-art.)
