Under the Table and Screaming is a multi-volume series exploring the history and legacy of the local music scene in Charlottesville, VA. From literally underground shows in DIY basements to the racially suppressed hip-hop scene to thriving roots music on woodsy back porches to elegant recitals in restored theaters, UTTaS presents a full and diverse picture of this incredibly musical city, still largely known nationally only as the home of Dave Matthews.
In the second volume, local journalist and radio DJ Erin O'Hare focuses on two longstanding, homey venues in the Charlottesville music scene: Miller's and Fellini's No. 9. As pillars of Charlottesville jazz for over four decades, hosting some of the most longstanding gigs in the country (including a 40-year-long gig led by the renowned trumpeter John D'earth), these venues have helped create one of the best, and most underrated, meccas for jazz on the East Coast. O'Hare perfectly captures both the master musicianship and the intimate hometown atmosphere that these venues, and the artists they support, have fostered.
Recommended for those who like the amber reflection of old drug store lights in a saxophone's bell, the friendly chaos of a folk-jazz-funk fusion group over the din of a late-night crowd, or the sound of an upright piano through the open windows of a homegrown, renowned Italian restaurant.
