Reggie
Reggie was a Black American bartender who lived in New York City and was a longtime fixture at The Session, a jazz club in Manhattan’s West Village. Alongside owner Vera Ferrara, he was part of the club’s informal family and helped maintain its community.
Role at The Session
Reggie had worked at The Session since its early years and had spent more than thirty years behind the bar by the mid-2020s. Vera maintained the club’s musical standards, while Reggie’s work behind the bar included practical attention to the people who gathered there.
He had known Charlie Rivera since Charlie first entered the club at thirteen. Reggie monitored whether Charlie had eaten and responded quickly when Charlie became presyncopal after performing. During Logan’s first visit in November 2025, Reggie provided alcohol-free drink options, ingredient information, food, and continued refills without turning Logan’s needs into a spectacle.

Physical Characteristics
