Chris Hazelton’s Boogaloo 7, at Green Lady Lounge
With red drapes and faux-classic paintings adorning its walls, Green Lady Lounge has felt joyously eclectic since it opened in December 2012. Last spring, the bar took that eclecticism a step further, replacing the main floor’s piano with a B-3 organ. Played correctly, it can fill the room with the soul of Ray Charles and the funk and jazz of Lonnie Smith. And that’s just what the Boogaloo 7 has been doing every Friday since the switch. Organist Chris Hazelton adds Nick Howell on trumpet, Nick Rowland on alto and tenor sax, Brett Jackson on baritone sax, Matt Hopper on guitar, Danny Rojas on drums and Pat Conway on congas.
