Monaco<\/a> has always been great for nightlife but with “Moods”, the little Principality has really surpassed itself. This jazz club has been open for at least a year but we just got around to visiting it last night. It’s not an aversion to jazz that made us slow to rush over there (certainly not) but a fear that an evening out would set us back the price of a sportscar. Not so.<\/p>\n

Moods looks like it would be costly. First, there’s the location behind Monte Carlo’s Cafe de Paris. Then there’s the ultra-modern but somehow comforting decor. The staircase that leads to the entrance has a whooshing wall of water on each side and the interior is surprisingly spacious and extremely well-designed. There are several bar areas, walkways and even a book corner with sofas that border the stage and main floor. The sight lines are good from nearly everywhere and the acoustics are top-of-the-line.<\/p>\n

Drinks run from \u20ac10 on up and there’s only a cover charge for the more renowned groups like Stefano di Battista or Paola Fresu.<\/p>\n

We were most charmed by the music of Pink Turtle and Lillian Boutte that presented\u00a0 New Orleans-infused versions of rock, soul and pop classics. Musically unusual (how about ‘Satisfaction’ to a bossa-nova beat?), Pink Turtle also put on a great show, with the musicians doubling as performers, singers and comedians.<\/p>\n

Moods is open Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm on although the music starts at around 9.30pm. For more information and the program, see www.montecarloresort.com<\/a><\/p>\n
