Review...

The Dresden

Los Feliz, $$
SD: This jazz lounge is like stepping into another time. It's full of history and was the bar where ‘swingers’ was shot. Marty and Elayne are a constant feature (the iconic jazz duo have been here 35 years) and sweet as pie. They inspire me with their neverending love for each other and their music. They often let audience members get up and do a number, I have sung with them a few times, my absolute favorite song to sing is ‘La Vie en Rose’. I also sang that same song down the street at The Rockwell one night with Jeff Goldblum! What a legend. Two amazing places that let audience members get up and overcome their fears and have a go.
