Best Lounge Act

Jay Clark at the Carousel Lounge

Every Friday and Saturday night, Jay Clark - a blind crooner, keyboardist, saxophonist and clarinetist - gives the standards a whole new slant with interpretations that are personal, loving and incredibly sincere. His style is a perfect complement to this almost hallucinogenic bar where Clark has entertained for decades, and there's no better way to celebrate the durability and malleability of the classic American pop song than hearing Clark give them his own singular treatments.
