Blue Note - Agency Reviews

Yes, Blue Note is the center of jazz in the world. As a jazz label, almost all of the world's most classic jazz records have the Blue Note logo, and as a performance venue, Blue Note is the most well-known and top jazz live performance organization in the world. Founded in 1981 by Danny Bensusan in New York, Blue Note has since become a musical landmark in Tokyo, Japan, Milan, Italy, and other cities. In 2016, after two years of design and construction, Blue Note landed in China and officially opened for business. Blue Note Beijing is currently the largest Blue Note store in the world. Blue Note Beijing is located on the former site of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing at 23 Qianmen East Street, on the central axis of Beijing. Qianmen No. 23 is a gathering place for high-end lifestyles, with a large lawn and detached American buildings abounding, such as Patek Philippe Beijing Yuandi, Johnnie Walker's Brewing Bar, Wending Mansion Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot, and Flower Horse Paradise Yunnan Restaurant. The Blue Note is underground, and the sunken staircase leads through the black gate, and the entrance passage leads to the official venue. Signature instruments from the world's jazz masters are quietly displayed on one side of the aisle, including the signature guitar designed by B.B. King, the signature guitar by Pat Metheny, and the signature saxophone by world-renowned soprano saxophonist Kenny G. Entering the auditorium, the most striking feature is the Blue Note's classic blue stage, with a dark blue curtain and dark blue lighting. Blue Note Beijing's acoustics are impeccable, and the sound stage has been carefully designed by the Shanghai Institute of Acoustics, and the standard requirements are on par with the theater. Dozens of square tables are neatly arranged in the performance hall, and each table has a delicate and cute night light. For optimal acoustics, there is not a single pillar in the main viewing area. Every Friday and Saturday, Blue Note's Masters Night, which has been open for one year, and countless of the world's top jazz masters have been invited to perform at Blue Note Beijing. From Monday to Thursday, it mainly focuses on domestic high-quality Chinese performances. The Good Day Beijing collection is a Blue Note feature that features a monthly Brunch, Afternoon Tea or Tango Ball. The Blue Note has a counter seat, a side seat, and a main table, and there is also a private room. If you want to enjoy the best view, it's best to get there early to change your table card, because Blue Note seats are on a first-come, first-served basis, and good seats don't wait for anyone. Once seated, you can order a meal and a drink, and it is recommended to finish the meal before the show starts. The performance has a low cost, and the amount of low cost depends on the performance and location. It's worth mentioning that the Blue Note venue has a café that offers classic records in jazz and blues style, with a wide variety of vinyl records on the walls, as well as vinyl record players to listen to. The Blue Note Café is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. even if there are no shows on the day.
