On this date in 1921, theatrical producer Joseph Papp was born in #brooklyn. Papp is best known for the eponymous #PublicTheater on #LafayetteStreet #Shakespeare In the Park and #preservation of the #broadway #theaterdistrict. I’ve enjoyed several evenings at #joespub in the Public Theater building, which offers #cabaret style #entertainment and refreshments. #nyc #newyorkcity #culture #history #centralpark

@RAHstory And #Mariza was the breakout star at our very first #globalFEST 20 years ago. Before gF, she was playing to 160 people at #JoesPub. The next NY show she did after was a sold out show headlining #CarnegieHall

@virginiaheffernan Such a mellow version. He has some lovely laid back phrasing.
I realize that the Hair 8-track helped lead me to work at #ThePublic (and taught me the words sodomy and fellatio.)
And the Santana album led me to “world music” and therefore #JoesPub
That 2002 #BaabaMaal run at #joespub during #APAP365 is part of my personal #globalFEST origin story. That was the proof of concepts that the professional market was there and we could open our peers ears further. Coupled with a show by #KarshKale and #Gigi that same weekend. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/baaba-maal-at-joes-pub-in-new-york-city
