Bourbon & Brass: Weekly Live Jazz at Time Out Market New York, Union Square

Time Out Market New York in Union Square runs a weekly jazz night called Bourbon & Brass. It takes place every Wednesday from 7 to 10pm in the middle of 14th Street, and it pairs live music by New York-based performers with craft cocktails and food from the Market's vendors.

The lineup rotates by the week of the month. On the first and third Wednesdays, singer Melaner takes the stage with a soulful vocal set. On the second and fourth Wednesdays, Grammy-winning trumpeter Danny Jonokuchi leads the music.

The drink tie-in is a Bulleit bourbon Old Fashioned, sold at a specialty price from the Market Bar. For dinner, guests can choose from the Market's vendors. Time Out presents the night as a way to unwind after work, meet friends for a drink or have a midweek date.

Admission is listed as free. The Market is a food hall, so food and drink are available on site, with the music running through the evening. For anyone downtown on a Wednesday who wants live jazz without buying a concert ticket, it is a simple option to know about.
