tickets for Dec events!!
spiritual jazz & holiday cheer
Hello my lovely subscribers!
couchdate is doing 2 ticketed events in December - a vinyl listening party & a dinner. Both will be so special. Before I posted these events on social media I wanted to give ya’ll first dibs on tickets. Feel free to reply to this email, email me, or DM on Instagram if you’re interested. All the information is below 🙂
Pharaoh Sanders “Promises” • A Vinyl Listening Experience
Sunday, Dec 4th, 12pm-1:30pm
Out of all the listening parties I’ve done, this is one of the most significant for me. I will be playing Promises, an album that is a collaboration between jazz legend Pharaoh Sanders, electronic pariah Floating Points, & the London Symphony Orchestra. Of course on vinyl, on the vintage analog high fidelity stereo system at my shop • event space, couchdate.
Jazz icon Pharaoh Sanders was one of the deepest, spiritual, & profound saxophone players to blow the horn. Listening to his albums, I’m taken somewhere so ethereal I often forget that I’m listening to music. Promises is no exception, and though sadly his last album, showed that the 79 year old had truly tapped into the cosmos.
These listening parties are small, intimate events modeled after Japanese Jazz Kissa’s (jazz cafes). While the album is playing we ask that conversation be kept quiet & discrete. Tickets are $35 per person; included with your ticket is our cocktail for the event, as well as a parking spot. Seating is very limited, and tickets are presale only (none available at the door).
The Things We Love, a 4 course dinner & drink pairing
Friday, Dec 9th, 6pm-9pm
The last couchdate dinner of the year! This menu is inspired by the beautiful winter bounty we get here in California, & by classic holiday food. This will be an intimate, 4 course family style dinner with wine pairing. We’ll be playing our favorite records on the analog hi fi system at couchdate, while serving the food & drinks. Tickets are $95 per person, and presale only (none will be available at the door). Please note that there are no substitutions for the menu but we can accommodate certain allergies.
Once again, feel free to reply to this email, email me directly, or DM on Instagram if you’re interested. Looking forward to seeing you.
Much love,
Emu
