The Stan Harrison Quartet plays Bond 45 / BroadwayWorld

BroadwayWorld's Stephen Sorokoff writes…Bond 45 as the name implies used to be on 45th street, it's now on 46th street, but the music heard last night at this theater district restaurant was reminiscent of 52nd street, site of the original Birdland. "The jazz corner of the world" (Birdland) is now located on 44th street (after a brief stint on 110th street.) Like the original Birdland you head downstairs at Bond 45 for the music. The underground space at Bond 45 has now become a miniature concert hall, which offers excellent acoustics and sight lines - not to mention a well-stocked bar and kitchen. On Tuesday, tenor saxophonist and composer Stan Harrison performed with his quartet, with pianist Elias Stemeseder, bassist Kim Cass, and drummer Steven Crammer. Stan is a fascinating character: he's a jazz musician who's better known in the rock world, having recorded and toured extensively as a featured soloist with everyone from David Sanborn, David Bowie, Radiohead, They Might Be Giants, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, and Serge Gainsbourg to name a few.
