Hitting a jazz club in a new city is a thrilling experience, witnessing the emergence of raw new talent or watching seasoned musicians seamlessly improvise. Here are some of the top jazz clubs from around the world that deliver excellent music in a cool setting.
Spotted Cat Music Club
The Spotted Cat Music Club in New Orleans is a favorite with locals, tourists and visiting musicians. The club has a great atmosphere, stage set up, drinks and staff.
Vortex Jazz Club
The Vortex Jazz Club in London features big talent in an intimate setting. Completely volunteer-led, the concerts in this venue are of exceptional quality, featuring experimental music still accessible to the general public. The club has been in operation for 25 years and launched the careers of bands like Portico Quartet and Polar Bear.
Pit Inn
The Pit Inn in Tokyo is a premier venue loved by jazz fans for more than 40 years. The focus is 100 percent on the music: It boasts an exceptional sound system and seating arrangement that discourages conversation during performances (chairs are lined in rows instead of around a table).
TramJazz
TramJazz is a mobile jazz club that takes you around the sites of Rome in a restored cable car and feeds you — all while giving you the opportunity to hear from some excellent local jazz musicians. It sounds a bit gimmicky at first, but strangely, it works.
The Crypt
The Crypt in Cape Town, South Africa, is located under St. George’s Cathedral, known as the “people’s cathedral” due to its prominent role in the resistance against apartheid. If you’re worried a jazz club under a church might be staid, erase that thought from your mind. The ambiance, lighting, music and wine menu are stellar.
