SoHo’s The Dominick rooftop grooved tonight as the NYC Rooftop Jazz Series drew 800. A Harlem quintet—$20 tickets sold out—hit X’s 6,000 clips; sax solos soared. $10 cocktails—300 sipped; skyline twinkled. A breeze—75°F—cooled; 200 swayed. NYC’s notes—summer nights sing.
Organizer Jamal Reed, 50, booked 8—sets flowed smooth. A Bronx trumpeter’s ‘Summertime’—silky—drew 300 cheers; phones glowed. Pop-up vinyl—$15 records sold 50—collectors nabbed Monk. New LED lights—stage crisp—lit vibe. Dominick’s vibe—NYC’s jazz heart.
It’s not perfect—bar crowded; drinks waited 15 minutes. Sound soft—city hums bled. Still, 800 fans, 2 sets—night’s a hit. Post-jam, Spring Street buzzed—music talk flowed. Weekly run—NYC swings.
Reed’s 50—jazz king? Trumpeter’s 27—horn star. SoHo vibed; NYC glowed. Rooftop Jazz—note on.
