From the man who brought us the windblown jazz classic 'A Taste of Honey' comes this fusion of chop house and jazz club at the top of Beverly Glen. Pairing up with Pasadena's Parkway Grill/Arroyo Chop House team, the Smith brothers, legendary trumpeteer Herb Alpert brings a reputation and many established jazz acts to play duets alongside a menu mostly consumed with American classics in their own right -- steaks, short ribs and thick-cut chops. It's a virtual rarity to find a restaurant in LA that features live jazz music every night of the week (except Monday, when they're closed), a fact that makes this urban-feeling destination oddly appealing. Unfortunately, you have to head for the hills if you want to get there, as it's tucked away in a small shopping center (next to a pet store of all places) up near Mulholland. In semi-circular space that is adorned with high-ceilings and two levels of banquettes, Vibrato's center stage is visited by local top pianists, trios and quartets, such as Chuck Mangione and trombonist Bob McChesney. Meanwhile, enjoy dishes such as diver scallops and the seafood stew as three bronze sculptures of jazz gods Tyree Glenn, Barney Bigard and big-cheeked Satchmo, Louis Armstrong look on above the bar.
