Jonny Empire serves up a supremely chill homage to an iconic NYC venue on Front Row At The Blue Note. Sharing insight into the inspiration for the track, the talented emcee explains, “One of the things I miss most about the world are live shows, which I’m happy to see coming back into play very soon. My favorite venue is the Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC – which I’ve seen groups like Skyzoo, Statik Selektah and The Roots. A lot of good energy is there when good music is being played. I wanted to channel that energy in a song and put myself in that venue mentally.” This isn’t the first time the wordsmith penned a track celebrating the live space. Last year he celebrated the State Theatre with a boom bap serenade to the concert hall. Get into the show mode and absorbed this cool flowing jazzy soundscape by Ewonee. -IZ
