Going strong for 20 years in the downtown Minneapolis location (and nearly 40 years since it’s “birth” in St Paul), The Dakota offers a classy urban setting for dining and listening, and there’s great music every night from most every genre, but best known for world and local jazz stars.
Jazzy March highlights include a taste of New Orleans with trombone master/composer/producer Delfeayo Marsalis and his Uptown Orchestra (March 1); part two of his “Songs I’ve Always Wanted to Play” with veteran drummer Bobby Commodore and his swinging quartet (March 4); Goldings/Bernstein/Stewart, aka “the best organ trio of the past decade” according to the New York Times (March 18); one of the top vocalists of the the century, Cyrille Aimée (March 19); the blazing hot 2024 edition of the famed SF Jazz Collective, led now by saxophonist Chris Potter (March 22); Kavyesh Kaviraj, one of the area’s most versatile and accomplished pianists in tribute to muse Ahmad Jamal (March 25); and the ever-astounding guitar master, Stanley Jordan (March 29).
