Some nights, the best concert is at home. Nine albums for evenings when you do not go out.
By Hugo Brandt
Not every evening has to end in a club. Some of the best nights of the year happen at home, with a record playing from beginning to end and nobody reaching for the remote.
Our nine choices are albums meant to be heard in order: late-night jazz, a few piano records, one live album that sounds like a room full of friends. Put one on, turn the lights down and let it play through both sides.
The rule is the same as in a club: no skipping, no phones, and the volume a little higher than you think.
A cellar in the Latin Quarter where the band plays late and nobody sits down for long.
Twenty years, the same club, the same night. What a weekly residency teaches about music and about listening.
21 Oct — The Cellar Room, Berlin · Two sets, from 9 pm
Films, concerts, plays and tables worth going out for — in one letter before the weekend.
