John Purcell is a Bird disciple of no great import, but his grassroots jazz venue, the POSTunderground, 386 Washington Street, Brookline, Massachusetts, is really worth a visit. For summer 2021, we are UPstairs where fresh air is abundant and everyone has room to breathe. It's the safest jazz venue on Earth! Visit postunderground.com for more info.
