This is a row of details on the south side of 23rd Street. I am standing at the beginning of Madison Avenue. It’s starting point is here at 23rd Street, with Broadway to its west. Madison starts here, but Broadway goes on forever, slowly edging east til it crosses 5th just about here.
Madison Square Park starts here, too, rising two blocks up to 25th Street. This weekend was the end of the NoMad Jazz Festival in its 1st year. It boasted a brilliantly packed schedule. We stayed for Arta Jēkabsone, who, with a nine piece band, presented Searching for a Song and The Brandee Younger Trio. There were harps in both; in The Brandee Younger Trio, she leads on the harp. Wow.
To borrow a theme from Paul Krugman’s Substack, I will leave you with music. It’s jazz, too.
