Friday just before dusk I was running an errand on South Lake Avenue, and I heard saxophone music. A musician was sitting by the Macy’s parking structure exit. He was good. I hope he comes back.

Last night we visited Pasadena Jazz Institute and The Armory Center for the Arts.

Walking into the Pasadena Jazz Institute

Paul Lines greeted us at the door and showed us around
There was a large performance space with lots of cozy little tables, and there were separate bar, pool and patio areas where you could hear the music and watch it on screen, but where you could also move around and socialize more or enjoy a little more privacy.

South Pasadena Music feels like a third place. It’s a great place to buy an instrument and to take lessons, but it’s more than a store. It feels good to be there. It feels kind of like a low key community hub. When I walked in this week, they had a copy of the South Pasadena Downtown Redevelopment Plan on the counter, and people (including me) looked at it and got into discussions about it. It felt like something out of a Ray Oldenburg book.
Kathy of Aphrodite in Jeans likes it there, too.
