ALL ABOUT JAZZ - November 2002 Issue - Like most Americans born in the 1960s, Iridium Jazz Club owner Ron Sturm grew up with rock 'n' roll, not jazz. "I got more involved with jazz when I was in college at Boston University," Sturm says. "Boston was really hot then - there were a lot of jazz clubs and good things happening, and I caught a lot of shows." When the Sturm family decided to open a club, Ron is the one who suggested jazz. The name Iridium was chosen for several reasons. Iridium is a silvery white metal, but the word derives from iris, so it also refers to a rainbow. The Sturms liked the sound of the word, and better yet someone told them that saxophones were once lined with iridium.

Serving grades 9 through 12, this Manhattan institution has operated since 1914 under a remarkable founding principle: education without tuition barriers. A generous benefactor's vision continues to fuel the school's mission, channeling resources directly toward Catholic young men across the New York area who show both sharp minds and genuine leadership qualities. Admissions deliberately prioritize students whose families couldn't otherwise access a rigorous Catholic education. The Jesuit backbone shapes everything here—pushing students intellectually while weaving in deep commitments to service and community care. The curriculum balances demanding academics with spiritual formation centered on Christian values and personal growth. Walking these winter-quiet hallways, you'll notice the genuine ethnic diversity of the student body, all preparing for roles that extend beyond their classrooms into churches, civic spheres, and professions. The school's real strength lies in cultivating resourceful thinkers who actually want to lead with purpose and conscience, not just credentials.

K-12. Trinity's mission, stated in carefully considered terms, is essentially to provide its students with a setting—intellectual, moral, and physical—in which they can pursue the elements of a liberal education. We understand the idea of liberal education in different ways, all of us, but I'm pretty sure we could agree on a small number of things that are necessary to it: reading and writing accurately and truthfully; being curious and critical-minded; opening our minds to the ideas of others; questioning authority; maintaining self-respect and respect for the other. It is an endless project. Its ideals are woven through the ideals of democracy. I've come to think that, beyond the ideal of learning for its own sake, for the love of it, a liberal education serves politics. The political question is something like, "What is one to do with one's power?" How Trinity goes about the business of a liberal education is our way of answering that question.

Two brothers with deep roots in New York decided to build something beyond just a restaurant. When Jimmy and Eddie Mateus completed their five-story residential project in Spanish Harlem, they spotted an opportunity at ground level to create a gathering place they'd always wanted. The result channels the energy of an open kitchen theater where premium angus beef and house-crafted seasonings take center stage, wrapped in the warmth of a Latino steakhouse reimagined for modern tastes. Winter evenings here feel especially intimate, with the exposed kitchen's heat radiating through the room and the bar's glow reflecting off the long counter where diners linger. You get elevated cooking at accessible prices in a spacious, sexy space that flows from interior to open-air terrace.
