The Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant in the downtown Minneapolis looked just like any other trendy restaurants on Nicollet Mall in the early morning. Reserved and affably low-key. The only somewhat jazzy item was the yummy-looking Cocoa Rubbed Beef Tenderloin Sandwich from the lunch menu. But when I started to imagine how jazz greats like McCoy Tyner and Ray Brown masterfully jamming in this place in some jazzed-up nights, even the empty outdoor seating area magically began to swing and sing.
