Yes, it’s literally in a back alley in Georgetown, but this has been one of the great jazz and blues venues in America since it opened in 1965. Over the years, it has hosted giants like Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughn and Ray Charles. Music aficionados will likely know of it because of all the Live at Blues Alley albums out there—Eva Cassidy’s is a classic.
