Lonely Planet review for Velvet Lounge
Tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson (one of the founding members of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) owned the Velvet and played here regularly until he passed away in 2010 at age 81. Visiting jazz musicians often hang out here late at night. The place rocks especially hard during the Sunday night jam sessions.
