Jazz Institution http://bandwidth.wamu.org/bidding-farewell-to-bohemian-caverns-a-d-c-jazz-institution/ http://bandwidth.wamu.org/bidding-farewell-to-bohemian-caverns-a-d-c-jazz-institution/#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2016 13:53:49 +0000 http://bandwidth.wamu.org/?p=62734 This weekend brings the final performances at legendary D.C. jazz venue Bohemian Caverns. An institution at 11th and U streets for 90 years, the club officially closes its doors March 31, as Washington City Paper first reported.

On today’s Morning Edition, I talked to some folks who have been intimately involved in the space since Omrao Brown and his partners took it over a decade ago. Listen to the story here.

This weekend’s gigs at the Caverns are mostly sold out — except for a just-announced Sunday night jam session with The Young Lions. Tickets are still available for both sets. If you want ’em, act quickly.
