Take Two is an immersive deep-listening night consisting of two elements: an uninterrupted, high-quality playback of a seminal jazz album, followed by a modern-day reinterpretation by New York City’s finest musicians.

Our twenty-first edition will feature the French impressionist composer Claude Debussy and his 1908 suite Children's Corner. Debussy influenced the likes of Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, and Duke Ellington through his radical take on harmony and rhythm, which oftentimes sought inspiration from medieval church music and non-Western traditions.

The live reinterpretation will be led by virtuosic pianist Moshe Elmakias, who has been performing internationally since the age of 13. Moshe recently completed his Master’s degree at the New England Conservatory of Music and represents the new age of Israeli jazz musicians in New York, where he is now based.

Take Two will be held in a private loft in Greenpoint featuring a vintage 4-point Klipsch sound system and comfortable seating arrangements.
