jazz club

Bebop performance spot

A jazz club is a venue where jazz music is performed live, typically a bar or small nightclub with an intimate atmosphere.

Jazz clubs emerged alongside the genre itself in the early twentieth century and remain centers of the music's culture: We caught a late set at the jazz club downtown.

The term evokes dim lighting, close seating, and musicians playing for attentive audiences.
