THE STATION

If you like any or all of the followjng:

1) Good music

2) Good food

3) A good time

we suggest that you make a special trip to Greektown this weekend (or as soon as possible) and plan to spend a few hours there between 9 PM and 5 AM. That's when the new club known as The Music Station is open (on Fridays and Saturdays) and while you're there you'll get a chance to fill up on just about everything you need.

First of all, The Music Station is under the direction of master musician Roy Brooks- and the schedule of coming events is enough to make a jazz fan do handstands. This is the kind of music that musicians themselves make a point to listen to, and study. The club opened July 1 with no less than Brooks' Artistic Truth featuring Eddie Jefferson, who is probably the most original and inventive vocalist in all of jazz. Later this month The Station features a great female vocalist in Ms. Betty Carter and rare Detroit appearances by the likes of drummer Max Roach and legendary saxophonistflautist James Moody, among others.

Secondly, no liquor is served at The Music Station, which means (on the one hand) there is no age limit, and (on the other) the place can stay open past the 2 AM bar curfew hour, for the late-night set. Also, the lack of "frills" keeps the cover price to no more than $3 per person.

Since the Station is right in the middle of Greektown (see map, page 12 ) some of the city's best and most reasonably-priced restaurants are only steps away, and they're open past 2 AM on weekends, too. There's other diversions like pinball, pool, and fancy pastry shops, all in the context of the security and general cleanliness for which Greektown is well-known and loved.

It comes as no surprise that the atmosphere at The Music Station is casual and extremely relaxed. We just couldn't give any place a better recommendation. See you there!
