The Havana Mix in downtown Memphis is primarily a cigar lounge, but occasionally books live music, often on Friday evenings. So when my drummer friend Otis Logan told me to come down because he was playing there, I did. The band was billed as the Havana Mix Band, and did a series of neo-soul and R & B classics for the ample crowd inside. Of course, as one would expect with a cigar bar, the place is not for those who don’t enjoy plenty of smoke. But the atmosphere is elegant and refined, and the music (when they have it) is first-rate.

I have stopped by Havana to grab a cigar or two. The cigars are always excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful. Was not aware that they showcased live music from time to time. Would love to know when the next event is scheduled. Thanks!
