Experience the unparalleled brilliance of the Guy Mintus Trio at the world-famous Crooners Supper Club.Led by Israeli born and New York based virtuoso Guy Mintus, their dynamic synergy blends elements from Stride piano to Turkish Makams, Indian rhythms to Bach-styled counterpoint, Jewish melodies and American jazz standards all weaved together in their own signature style – a seamless blend of jazz and contemporary improvisations.
Guy’s awards include the “Leonard Bernstein Award” by ASCAP and the Bernstein Family Foundation and the Prix du Public at the Montreux Jazz Festival’s solo piano competition. Guy has been commissioned to compose works by the American Composers Orchestra, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and the Jerusalem East & West Orchestra. He has performed with the Bavarian Philharmonic, composed music for Miracle of Miracles (the new documentary about Fiddler on the Roof by HBO director Max Lewkowicz) and premiered his first piano concerto with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. Guy is an endorsed artist by Yamaha Pianos.
“Mintus pours together a mixed brew of influences – Arabic maqam, Jewish folk song, Eastern European dance rhythms and, especially, classic hard bop – with such ebullient grace that you’d think they all originated in the very same place.”
– The New York Times
Recognized as one of the best jazz venues in the world by Downbeat Magazine once again in 2023, Crooners Supper Club offers world-class entertainment with out of this world cuisine.
Hearkening back to an era when nearly every major American city boasted a popular supper club – when “roadhouses” in the heartland, as they were called, appeared around the bend and a neon sign beckoned — Crooners Supper Club is reinventing the classic American jazz club on the shores of Moore Lake in Fridley, just a stone’s throw from a bustling metropolis called Minneapolis.
At Crooners you experience the unrushed, wholesome hospitality of a Midwestern roadhouse; you taste locally sourced delicacies, from prime rib to parmesan-crusted walleye; you savor generously poured cocktails and amply-portioned meals. From the minute you walk in, the romance of candles, the banquettes and ringside tables, and the cordial familiarity of your servers combine to create an irresistible ambiance. No matter who you are or how old, you are made to feel like you belong.
Join the Minnesota JCC this July to witness this extraordinary ensemble at Minnesota’s premier jazz venue.
