Mi sarebbe tanto piaciuto esserci, STUDIO 54 NEW YORK La discoteca più famosa e più sballata mai esistita al mondo!!!Steve Rubell aveva un sogno...e lo realizzò!!nato nel Dicembre del 1943,morì a Luglio del 1989.Ma la storia dello Studio 54 non avrà mai fine...peccato di non esserci stato!!Maurizio Tramontano. I would have much liked to be there, STUDIO 54 NEW YORK The most famous discos and unpacking ever existed in the world! Steve Rubell had a dream ... and it made! Born in December 1943, died in July 1989.Ma the history of Studio 54 will never end ... shame not to have been! Maurizio Tramontano. STUDIO 54 cinquantaquattresima Strada a Manhattan, tra la Settima e l'Ottava Avenue, inaugurata il 26 Aprile del 1977 e chiusa a Marzo del 1986. Allestito all'interno di un teatro che fino al decennio prima fungeva da studio televisivo (da cui il nome) è universalmente riconosciuto come il primo esempio di discoteca di grande successo come viene inteso oggi. Caratteristica principale del locale era l'altissimo grado di selezione di clientela che veniva effettuato all'ingresso, le provocazioni al costume e la stravaganza delle serate proposte. L'intento del gestore del locale (Steve Rubell) era infatti quello di garantire all'ospite "la più grande festa del mondo" nonché quello di scioccare con gli eccessi la città di New York (ci fu chi entrò nel locale a dorso di cavallo).La musica riprodotta ad alto volume, le scenografie allusive (emblematica era la falce di luna imboccata dal cucchiaino), le serate che ogni sabato prevedevano una sorpresa od un nuovo eccesso, fecero in modo che sin da subito questa discoteca si presentasse come un luogo dove le etichette sociali non contavano nulla, ma dove tutti potevano essere protagonisti.La struttura del locale era essenzialmente quella di un banale cinema, composto da platea e galleria. La pista era situata dove prima era la platea, la consolle del DJ dove un tempo era il palco e la balconata, accessibile da una decoratissima scala in stile barocco, era la zona dei divani. Sotto la balconata e quindi alla stessa quota della pista, si trovava il bancone del bar. Ignorata dai più, era una saletta (il Privè) collocata ad una quota superiore in corrispondenza della balconata e dove poteva entrare un ristrettissimo numero di persone invitate esclusivamente dal gestore Steve Rubell. Numerosissime furono le celebrità di quel periodo ospiti dello Studio54 (tra cui Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, John Travolta, Truman Capote, Michael Jackson, Elton John ed una ancora sconosciuta Madonna). Altrettanto numerosi furono gli artisti che vi si esibirono (tra cui Grace Jones, Chic, Diana Ross ed Amii Stewart). Tuttavia l'età d'oro del locale durò appena due anni, poiché il gestore fu arrestato per possesso di droga e frode al fisco. Cambiando gestione restò comunque aperto fino al 1986 quando venne chiuso e quindi riabilitato a teatro (tutt'ora funzionante).

Inside of a theater that until the first decade served as a television studio (hence the name) is universally recognized as the first example of a very successful disco as it is understood today. The main feature of the space was the highest degree of selection of customers who arrived at the costume to the provocations and the extravagance of the evening proposals. The intention of the operator of the premises (Steve Rubell) was to guarantee "the largest festival in the world" and to shock with the excesses of the New York City (there were those who came into the room to the back of a horse ). The music played at high volume, the allusive scenes (it was emblematic of the crescent moon taken by the teaspoon), the Saturday evening that included a surprise or a new excess, did so right now this disco is presented as a place where social labels were not anything, but where everyone could be protagonisti.La local structure was essentially that of an ordinary film, composed of the stalls and gallery. The track was located where was the first audience, the DJ console where it was once the stage and balcony, accessible by a staircase decoratissima Baroque style, was the area of sofas. Under the balcony and then share the same runway, was the bar. Ignored by most, was a small room (the Privè) placed at a height at the upper balcony and where it could enter a very small number of people invited by the operator only Steve Rubell. Many were the celebrities of that period of Studio54 guests (including Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, John Travolta, Truman Capote, Michael Jackson, Elton John and Madonna still unknown). Equally numerous were the artists who performed (including Grace Jones, Chic, Diana Ross and Amii Stewart). But the golden age of local lasted just two years, since the operator was arrested for possession of drugs and to the tax fraud. Changing management however remained open until 1986 when it was closed and then restored to the theater (still running)

Founded in 1995 by Dale Fitzgerald and Roy Hargrove, The Jazz Gallery's stellar programming has enabled a reputation as "The most imaginatively booked jazz club in New York." (NY Times) and "The best place to hear live music in New York." (TimeOut NY). As a nonprofit, it has the ability to allow musicians to take creative risks that other jazz venues would be likely to avoid - therefore, The Gallery is a hub of creativity, a home to jazz musicians/composers, many of them from all over the world but now permanently settled in the United States. The Jazz Gallery serves an ethnically diverse, international audience that represents a cross section of New York City residents and travelers to New York. The Gallery has many loyal audience members from the region, as well as those who come from all over the world and allocate time during their travel to specifically come to hear performances. Audiences represent all ages -children are comfortable attending since no alcohol is served, and many young college students from NYU and the New School frequent the venue regularly alongside adults of every age. One of the best bargains in NYC, the average ticket price is $10-$20 (occasionally, some special events are $35 or $40). The Gallery is open 3 to 5 nights per week, 50 weeks per year and produces an average of 175 events per year. In 2009 its audience was in excess of 11,000. The Jazz Gallery produces most of its programming in it’s own venue, a loft space with walls that also serve as a gallery for artwork relating to jazz. It seats 70 people. The rented space is on the fifth floor of 1160 Broadway,accessible by elevator. The Jazz Gallery recalls Soho loft spaces of the 1960's and 70s, and conveys an intimacy and warmth that many newcomers comment on. Thematic series include the Thursday Night Debut Series, a Commissioning Series supported by the Jerome Foundation, large ensemble presentations, and Composer Workshops with Steve Coleman. Funding in 2009 and 2010 included grants from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Jerome Foundation, The Greenwall Foundation, the New York Community Trust, Meet the Composer, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, New York State Council on the Arts, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and The National Endowment for the Arts, among others. In June 2010, The Jazz Gallery presented six concerts at its venue as part of the New York City CareFusion Jazz Festival. Two of the six concerts were webcast by NPR and WBGO. In addition, as part of the CareFusion Jazz Festival, The Jazz Gallery All -Stars appeared at Symphony Space's Peter Norton Theater, launching an initiative to create opportunities for jazz musicians at other larger performance venues. Over the past fifteen years The Jazz Gallery presented nine of the last eleven winners of the Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition PRIOR to their winning this competition. This year, in 2010, Jason Moran, a formidable pianist who has frequented the stage of The Gallery for more than 10 years, won a MacArthur Award; in 2008, Miguel Zenon, another musician whose emergence began at The Jazz Gallery, was a MacArthur Recipient. (Miguel is in residence at The Gallery this year.) Every jazz musician appearing at The Jazz Gallery, emerging and established, knows that this is a venue where they can experiment, try out new material, and grow and develop as artists. The Jazz Gallery's 2009/2010 season included, among many others, emerging artists such as Andy Milne, Pedro Giraudo, Ambrose Akinmusire, Dafnis Prieto, Darcy James Argue, John Escreet, Yosvany Terry, Ben Williams and Linda Oh, as well as established artists such as Ravi Coltrane, Roy Hargrove, Steve Coleman, Henry Threadgill, Oliver Lake and Fred Hersch.

The Players is a private social club founded in 1888 when Edwin Booth, the greatest American actor of his time, purchased a Gothic Revival-style mansion facing Gramercy Park and commissioned architect Stanford White to transform it into a certain club "for the promotion of social intercourse between the representative members of the dramatic profession and the kindred professions of literature, painting, sculpture and music, and the patrons of the arts."
