What's Doing at Minton's
. The house bands blow some great jazz (like Eli and the Organizers, who roll in with an old wooden organ on a dolly), but make sure to stay on for their famous after-hours jam sessions, when things get a little crazy like they did back in the day. Guys in the audience start jumping onstage with their own instruments and doing their thing (if you're getting ideas, we hope your "thing" doesn't involve a kazoo and scatting).
